class_docstr: An axis object describes the axis of a variable and is used for specifying
  the axes parameters of certain functions such as reductions.  Besides the
  static axes corresponding to each of the axes of the variable's shape,
  variables of kind 'input' and any 'output' variables dependent on an
  'input' variable also have two additional dynamic axes whose dimensions are
  known only when the variable is bound to actual data during compute time
  (viz. sequence axis and batch axis denoting the axis along which multiple
  sequences are batched).
  
  Axis parameters can also be negative, which allows to refere axis starting
  from the last axis. Please be aware that Axis objects work in a
  column-major wise, as opposed to any other function in the library.
