-In LogDensityProblems, we want to calculate the derivative of `logdensity(f, x)` with
-respect to x, where f is the model (in our case LogDensityFunction or its arguments ) and is
-a constant. However, DifferentiationInterface generally expects a single-argument function
-g(x) to differentiate.
-
-There are two ways of dealing with this:
-
-1. Construct a closure over the model, i.e. let g = Base.Fix1(logdensity, f)
-
-2. Use a constant DI.Context. This lets us pass a two-argument function to DI, as long as we
-   also give it the 'inactive argument' (i.e. the model) wrapped in `DI.Constant`.
-
-The relative performance of the two approaches, however, depends on the AD backend used.
-Some benchmarks are provided here: https://github.com/TuringLang/DynamicPPL.jl/pull/1172
-
-This function is used to determine whether a given AD backend should use a closure or a
-constant. If `use_closure(adtype)` returns `true`, then the closure approach will be used.
-By default, this function returns `false`, i.e. the constant approach will be used.
