    TorchRL's TensorSpec are used to present what input/output is to be expected for a specific class,

    TensorSpecs are primarily used in environments to specify their input/output structure without needing to
    execute the environment (or starting it). They can also be used to instantiate shared buffers to pass
    data from worker to worker.

    TensorSpecs are dataclasses that always share the following fields: `shape`, `space, `dtype` and `device`.

    As such, TensorSpecs possess some common behavior with :class:`~torch.Tensor` and :class:`~tensordict.TensorDict`:
    they can be reshaped, indexed, squeezed, unsqueezed, moved to another device etc.

    Args:
        shape (torch.Size): size of the tensor. The shape includes the batch dimensions as well as the feature
            dimension. A negative shape (``-1``) means that the dimension has a variable number of elements.
        space (Box): Box instance describing what kind of values can be expected.
        device (torch.device): device of the tensor.
        dtype (torch.dtype): dtype of the tensor.

    .. note:: A spec can be constructed from a :class:`~tensordict.TensorDict` using the :func:`~torchrl.envs.utils.make_composite_from_td`
        function. This function makes a low-assumption educated guess on the specs that may correspond to the input
        tensordict and can help to build specs automatically without an in-depth knowledge of the `TensorSpec` API.

        >>> batch, size = 3, 4
        >>> action_value = torch.arange(batch*size)

        >>> print(chosen_action_value)
        tensor([ 3.,  7., 11.])

    The last dimension of the shape (variable domain) cannot be indexed.

    Args:
        n (int): number of possible outcomes.
        shape (torch.Size, optional): total shape of the sampled tensors.
            If provided, the last dimension must match ``n``.
        device (str, int or torch.device, optional): device of the tensors.
        dtype (str or torch.dtype, optional): dtype of the tensors.
        use_register (bool): experimental feature. If ``True``, every integer
            will be mapped onto a binary vector in the order in which they
            appear. This feature is designed for environment with no
            a-priori definition of the number of possible outcomes (e.g.
            discrete outcomes are sampled from an arbitrary set, whose
            elements will be mapped in a register to a series of unique
            one-hot binary vectors).
        mask (torch.Tensor or None): mask some of the possible outcomes when a
            sample is taken. See :meth:`~.update_mask` for more information.

    ``Unbounded`` specs will never appear as such and always be subclassed as :class:`UnboundedContinuous`
    or :class:`UnboundedDiscrete` depending on their dtype (floating points dtypes will result in
    :class:`UnboundedContinuous` instances, all others in :class:`UnboundedDiscrete` instances).

    Although it is not properly limited above and below, this class still has a :attr:`Box` space that encodes
    the maximum and minimum value that the dtype accepts.

    Args:
        shape (torch.Size): the shape of the ``Bounded`` spec. The shape must be specified.
            Inputs ``low``, ``high`` and ``shape`` must be broadcastable.
        device (str, int or torch.device, optional): device of the tensors.
        dtype (str or torch.dtype, optional): dtype of the tensors.
        domain (str): `"continuous"` or `"discrete"`. Can be used to override the automatic type assignment.

        >>> spec = Unbounded(shape=(), dtype=torch.float)

    """A composition of TensorSpecs.

    If a ``TensorSpec`` is the set-description of Tensor category, the ``Composite`` class is akin to
    the :class:`~tensordict.TensorDict` class. Like :class:`~tensordict.TensorDict`, it has a ``shape`` (akin to the
    ``TensorDict``'s ``batch_size``) and an optional ``device``.

    Args:
        *args: if an unnamed argument is passed, it must be a dictionary with keys
            matching the expected keys to be found in the :obj:`Composite` object.
            This is useful to build nested CompositeSpecs with tuple indices.
        **kwargs (key (str): value (TensorSpec)): dictionary of tensorspecs
            to be stored. Values can be None, in which case is_in will be assumed
            to be ``True`` for the corresponding tensors, and :obj:`project()` will have no
            effect. `spec.encode` cannot be used with missing values.

    Attributes:
        device (torch.device or None): if not specified, the device of the composite
            spec is ``None`` (as it is the case for TensorDicts). A non-none device
            constraints all leaves to be of the same device. On the other hand,
            a ``None`` device allows leaves to have different devices. Defaults
            to ``None``.
        shape (torch.Size): the leading shape of all the leaves. Equivalent
            to the batch-size of the corresponding tensordicts.
