Initializing a shared variable with unknown shape

Question

The Variable initializer provides a validate_shape parameter so that you can change a Variable shape after initialization.

However, it doesn't look like get_variable() has that parameter and instead uses the default value of validate_shape=False when creating a new Variable. How can you create a shared Variable whose shape you can change after initialization?

Answer 1

It seems based on the docs here that the validate_shape parameter is now supported as desired, in case anyone else stumbles upon this question.
