**Exploring implementation options**
I'm thinking about how to implement functionality for when `max_dim` equals 1 — maybe I could just use zeros. But if `max_dim` isn't 1, perhaps leveraging torch operations would work? I’m trying to avoid fallbacks and want to keep everything streamlined. It seems necessary to compile everything inline. I might need to create a C++ wrapper for `zero_forward(torch::Tensor x, int64_t max_dim)` to handle output allocation properly.

**Testing for static optimization**
I'm thinking maybe keeping things static is okay. I want to test quickly, and since we have a tool budget, it seems like a smart choice. But I'm considering that the final speed might be the same as before. By using a simpler approach, I could avoid any bugs. Even though the reference is huge, speed doesn't seem to be an issue. In the end, I’ll just submit the final simple version.
