 Review comment:
   `-1` does not mean copying dim size in NumPy; it actually means deducing 
shape with the available information. The point is we should not 
`CHECK(mxnet::shape_is_known(pshape))` since it implies that the destination 
shape may be unknown which is different from NumPy semantics.
