As Ops grows, we aspire to wrap the algorithms of other libraries into callable ops. This can result in numerous implementations of many algorithms, and it is of interest to determine which implementation was used for a particular Op call.

There are a few ways that we could try to implement this (note that this is an incomplete list):

• @ctrueden suggested baking provenance data into "simplified" types (these types would arise as a part of the simplification work being done to solve Implement Type Conversion #4)
• We might be able to bake this work in to the Op wrappers. This has the added benefit of recording data when no simplified types are used, but might extend past the intended purpose of the wrappers.
