This was branched off of #3127 by mistake. If both are merged, no issue.

Hi @DavidMertz -- @dcherian already started working on this over in #3086. But there's probably something useful that could be combined between these pull requests, maybe some of the docs or tests?

[DavidMertz]

I realized the overlap only after I made the PR. Their implementation of factoring out the shared code is better than my simple wrapper. But my documention and tests are better.

What's the best way to merge the best? I'm happy to do it, but not sure if it should be a new branch and PR, or a revision of one of the existing ones.

[shoyer]

I think I'm going to merge the other PR, then you can fork off of master again and add your doc/test improvements?

[DavidMertz]

Great. Will do.

[shoyer]

OK, I just merged #3086 in master.

I would suggest either merging master into this PR branch, or (probably easier) making a new branch from master with your improved docs/tests.
