`list_`	List constructed by `tensor` , such as `List[T0,T1,...,Tn]` , where the element `Ti` can be of different types.
`tuple_`	Tuple constructed by `tensor` , such as `Tuple[T0,T1,...,Tn]` , where the element `Ti` can be of different types.
`function`	Function. Return in two ways, when function is not None, returns Func directly, the other returns Func(args: List[T0,T1,…,Tn], retval: T) when function is None.
`type_type`	Type definition of type.
`type_none`	No matching return type, corresponding to the `type(None)` in Python.
`symbolic_key`	The value of a variable is used as a key of the variable in `env_type` .
`env_type`	Used to store the gradient of the free variable of a function, where the key is the `symbolic_key` of the free variable’s node and the value is the gradient.
