    This metaclass allows errors to be deferred from import time to the time
    that a symbol is actually used in order to streamline the usage of optional
    dependencies. This is particularly useful for attempted imports of GPU-only
    modules which will only be invoked if GPU-only functionality is
    specifically used.

    If an attempt to import a symbol fails, this metaclass is used to generate
    a class which stands in for that symbol. Any attempt to call the symbol
    (instantiate the class) or access its attributes will throw an
    UnavailableError exception. Furthermore, this class can be used in
    e.g. isinstance checks, since it will (correctly) fail to match any
    instance it is compared against.

    In addition to calls and attribute access, a number of dunder methods are
    implemented so that other common usages of imported symbols (e.g.
    arithmetic) throw an UnavailableError, but this is not guaranteed for
    all possible uses. In such cases, other exception types (typically
    TypeErrors) will be thrown instead.
