 The ChainRules package provides a variety of common utilities that can be used by downstream automatic differentiation (AD) tools to define and execute forward-, reverse-, and mixed-mode primitives.
 
 The core logic of ChainRules is implemented in [ChainRulesCore.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ChainRulesCore.jl).
