This allows the compiler to support more features than those supported by a model. The only requirement (development mode only) is that the new features must be appended at the end of the list of features requested from the model. The support is transparent to compiler code: for unsupported features, we provide a valid buffer to copy their values; it's just that this buffer is disconnected from the model, so insofar as the model is concerned (AOT or development mode), these features don't exist. The buffers are allocated at setup - meaning, at steady state, there is no extra allocation (maintaining the current invariant). These buffers has 2 roles: one, keep the compiler code simple. Second, allow logging their values in development mode. The latter allows retraining a model supporting the larger feature set starting from traces produced with the old model. For release mode (AOT-ed models), this decouples compiler evolution from model evolution, which we want in scenarios where the toolchain is frequently rebuilt and redeployed: we can first deploy the new features, and continue working with the older model, until a new model is made available, which can then be picked up the next time the compiler is built.
