+Copies the elements of `tensor` into `mask` locations of itself. The masked elements are those elements having a
 corresponding `1` in the `mask` Tensor. This `mask` is a `torch.ByteTensor`
 of zeros and ones. The destination `Tensor` and the `mask` Tensor should have the same number of elements.
 The source `tensor` should have at least as many elements as the number of 1s in the `mask`.
