[RFC] FunctionType for tf.function

[Faizan Muhammad]

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce that the RFC describing FunctionType for tf.function is available for comment.

The feedback phase will be open for two weeks until 2022-09-09. Comments are invited to the pull request linked. You can view the design doc there, and also leave comments inline on the document source.

Summary:

• This proposal introduces the concept of FunctionType to improve tf.function layering
• FunctionType is developed as a combination of Python inspect.Signature and TensorFlow tf.types.experimental.TraceType
• Impact-wise it will unblock us from resolving many tf.function inconsistencies and developing helpful new features

Thank you for your review and participation!

Best,
Faizan
