    multipledispatch.Dispatcher uses a generator to yield the
    desired function implementation, which is problematic as TensorFlow's
    autograph is not able to compile code that passes through generators.

    This class overwrites the problematic method in the original
    Dispatcher and solely makes use of simple for-loops, which are
    compilable by AutoGraph.
