Summary
Generally, to_tensor and to_buffer already perform sufficient verification. However, there are some unnecessarily strict constraints:
These checks are assertions (i.e. preconditions), however, they actually prevent an apparently useful bufferization where builtin tensors could become custom buffers. Lift these assertions, maintaining the verification procedure unchanged, to allow builtin -> custom bufferizations at operation boundary level.
