This CL applies the following simplifications to EDSCs:
1. Rename Block to StmtList because an MLIR Block is a different, not yet
supported, notion;
2. Rework Bindable to drop specific storage and just use it as a simple wrapper
around Expr. The only value of Bindable is to force a static cast when used by
the user to bind into the emitter. For all intended purposes, Bindable is just
a lightweight check that an Expr is Unbound. This simplifies usage and reduces
the API footprint. After playing with it for some time, it wasn't worth the API
cognition overhead;
3. Replace makeExprs and makeBindables by makeNewExprs and copyExprs which is
more explicit and less easy to misuse;
4. Add generally useful functionality to MLIREmitter:
a. expose zero and one for the ubiquitous common lower bounds and step;
b. add support to create already bound Exprs for all function arguments as
well as shapes and views for Exprs bound to memrefs.
5. Delete Stmt::operator= and replace by a `Stmt::set` method which is more
explicit.
6. Make Stmt::operator Expr() explicit.
7. Indexed.indices assertions are removed to pave the way for expressing slices
and views as well as to work with 0-D memrefs.
The CL plugs those simplifications with TableGen and allows emitting a full MLIR function for
pointwise add.
This "x.add" op is both type and rank-agnostic (by allowing ArrayRef of Expr
passed to For loops) and opens the door to spinning up a composable library of
existing and custom ops that should automate a lot of the tedious work in
TF/XLA -> MLIR.
Testing needs to be significantly improved but can be done in a separate CL.

This CL also introduces a set of python bindings using pybind11. The bindings
are exercised using a `test_py2andpy3.py` test suite that works for both
python 2 and 3.
`test_py3.py` on the other hand uses the more idiomatic,
python 3 only "PEP 3132 -- Extended Iterable Unpacking" to implement a rank
and type-agnostic copy with transposition.
Because python assignment is by reference, we cannot easily make the
assignment operator use the same type of sugaring as in C++; i.e. the
following:
```cpp
Stmt block = edsc::Block({
For(ivs, zeros, shapeA, ones, {
C[ivs] = IA[ivs] + IB[ivs]
})});
```
has no equivalent in the native Python EDSCs at this time.
However, the sugaring can be built as a simple DSL in python and is left as
future work.
