@torch.jit.script
      def fn():
          # Telling TorchScript that this empty dictionary is a (str -> int) dictionary
          # instead of default dictionary type of (str -> Tensor).
          d = torch.jit.annotate(Dict[str, int], {})
      # Without `torch.jit.annotate` above, following statement would fail because of
      # type mismatch.
      d["name"] = 20

Parameters:
      * the_type -- Python type that should be passed to
        TorchScript compiler as type hint for the_value
  * **the_value** -- Value or expression to hint type for.

Returns:
      the_value is passed back as return value.
