This is a reasonable canonicalization because `extract` is more
constrained than `extract_strided_slices`, so there is no loss of
semantics here, just lifting an op to a special-case higher/constrained
op. And the additional `shape_cast` is merely adding leading unit dims
to match the original result type.
Context: discussion on #111541. I wasn't sure how this would turn out,
but in the process of writing this PR, I discovered at least 2 bugs in
the pattern introduced in #111541, which shows the value of shared
canonicalization patterns which are exercised on a high number of
testcases.
