/// Tanh (hyperbolic tangent) activation layer
///
/// Applies `tanh(x)` element-wise to the input tensor, mapping values to (-1, 1) while
/// preserving the input shape
///
/// The activation math comes from [`Activation::Tanh`]; this layer adds boundary
/// validation and the caching required for backpropagation
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use rustyml::neural_network::sequential::Sequential;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::layers::activation::tanh::Tanh;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::optimizers::*;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::losses::*;
/// use ndarray::Array2;
///
/// // Create a 2D input tensor
/// let x = Array2::from_shape_vec((2, 3), vec![-1.0, 2.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0, 6.0])
///     .unwrap()
///     .into_dyn();
///
/// // Build a model with Tanh activation
/// let mut model = Sequential::new();
/// model
///     .add(Tanh::new())
///     .compile(SGD::new(0.01, 0.0, false, 0.0).unwrap(), MeanSquaredError::new());
///
/// // Forward propagation
/// let output = model.predict(&x);
///
/// // Output will be approximately: [[-0.76, 0.96, -0.99], [0.99, -0.99, 1.0]]
/// ```
