+How to replace one op with another
+1. Iterate through all Nodes in your GraphModule's Graph.
+2. Determine if the current Node should be replaced. (Suggested: match
+on the Node's ``target`` attribute).
+3. Create a replacement Node and add it to the Graph.
+4. Use the FX built-in ``replace_all_uses_with`` to replace all uses of
+the current Node with the replacement.
+5. Delete the old Node from the graph.
+6. Call ``recompile`` on the GraphModule. This updates the generated
+Python code to reflect the new Graph state.
+
+Currently, FX does not provide any way to guarantee that replaced
+operators are syntactically valid. It's up to the user to confirm that
+any new operators will work with the existing operands.
+
+The following code demonstrates an example of replacing any instance of
+addition with a bitwise AND.
+
+To examine how the Graph evolves during op replacement, add the
+statement `print(traced.graph)` after the line you want to inspect.
+Alternatively, see the Nodes in a tabular format by adding
+`from inspect_utils import print_IR` to the top of this file and calling
+`print_IR(traced.graph)`.

+# As demonstrated in the above example, there are several different ways
+# to denote addition. The possible cases are:
+#     1. `x + y` - A `call_function` Node with target
+#        `<built-in function add>`. This is `operator.add`, so we can
+#         match on equality with that function directly.
+#     2. `torch.add(x, y)` - A `call_function` Node with target
+#        `<built-in method add of type object at MEMORY-LOCATION-OF-TORCH>`.
+#         This is `torch.add`, which we can similarly match directly.
+#     3. `x.add(y)` - The Tensor method call, whose target we can match
