// The INVARIANT is that this function MUST be called before you attempt
// to get a CUDA Type object from ATen, in any way.  Here are some common
// ways that a Type object may be retrieved:
//
//    - You call getNonVariableType or getNonVariableTypeOpt
//    - You call toBackend() on a Type
//
// It's important to do this correctly, because if you forget to add it
// you'll get an oblique error message about "Cannot initialize CUDA without
// ATen_cuda library" if you try to use CUDA functionality from a CPU-only
// build, which is not good UX.
