Hi,
as a rule, Variables only interact with Variables, tensors with tensors.
(But quite possibly it might be nice to give a message…)
I think automatic wrapping is something that people think about now and then, but then it seems that it is not something is a lot of bother to most people.
This is in contrast to the automatic broadcasting, which to me really improved the experience of coding things up in pytorch (between 0.2 and 0.1.12)…
Best regards
Thomas
