//! Meta-Learning Primitives
//!
//! Implements meta-learning ("learning to learn") mechanisms that allow agents to:
//!
//! 1. Learn task priors from past experience
//! 2. Adapt quickly to new tasks with few examples
//! 3. Maintain a repertoire of learning strategies
//! 4. Select optimal learning approaches for new tasks
//!
//! Based on MAML, Reptile, and meta-learning research.
