Hi Mehdi (@joker-eph ),

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I actually wanted to use Emulation, but the Arith transform pass that extends and truncates the unsupported floats uses this name, I thought it may cause confusion as, this pass does something fundamentally different, although the end goal is similar. Hence, I chose the name Imitation. But I am open to change the name to emulation or any other suggestion the community has.
