    2. The condition of each case is a boolean value, which is a scalar Variable.

    3. It runs the first matched case, or the default case if there is one.

    The dynamic RNN will unfold sequence into timesteps. Users need to define
    how to process each time step during the :code:`with` block.

    The `memory` is used staging data cross time step. The initial value of
    memory can be zero or another variable.

    The dynamic RNN can mark multiple variables as its output. Use `drnn()` to
    get the output sequence.
