        """A decorator function that is used to redirect the execution of ``func``
        function to its backend implementation.

        This decorator allows the function to dispatch to different backend
        implementations based on the input graph types, and also manages the
        extra keywords ``backend`` and ``**backend_kwargs``.
        Usage can be any of the following decorator forms:

        - ``@_dispatchable``
        - ``@_dispatchable()``
        - ``@_dispatchable(name="override_name")``
        - ``@_dispatchable(graphs="graph_var_name")``
        - ``@_dispatchable(edge_attrs="weight")``
        - ``@_dispatchable(graphs={"G": 0, "H": 1}, edge_attrs={"weight": "default"})``
            with 0 and 1 giving the position in the signature function for graph
            objects. When ``edge_attrs`` is a dict, keys are keyword names and values
            are defaults.

        Parameters
        ----------
        func : callable, optional (default: None)
            The function to be decorated. If None, ``_dispatchable`` returns a
            partial object that can be used to decorate a function later. If ``func``
            is a callable, returns a new callable object that dispatches to a backend
            function based on input graph types.

        name : str, optional (default: name of `func`)
            The dispatch name for the function. It defaults to the name of `func`,
            but can be set manually to avoid conflicts in the global dispatch
            namespace. A common pattern is to prefix the function name with its
            module or submodule to make it unique. For example:

                - ``@_dispatchable(name="tournament_is_strongly_connected")``
                  resolves conflict between ``nx.tournament.is_strongly_connected``
                  and ``nx.is_strongly_connected``.
                - ``@_dispatchable(name="approximate_node_connectivity")``
                  resolves conflict between ``nx.approximation.node_connectivity``
                  and ``nx.connectivity.node_connectivity``.

        graphs : str or dict or None, optional (default: "G")
            If a string, the parameter name of the graph, which must be the first
            argument of the wrapped function. If more than one graph is required
            for the function (or if the graph is not the first argument), provide
            a dict keyed by graph parameter name to the value parameter position.
            A question mark in the name indicates an optional argument.
            For example, ``@_dispatchable(graphs={"G": 0, "auxiliary?": 4})``
            indicates the 0th parameter ``G`` of the function is a required graph,
            and the 4th parameter ``auxiliary?`` is an optional graph.
            To indicate that an argument is a list of graphs, do ``"[graphs]"``.
            Use ``graphs=None``, if *no* arguments are NetworkX graphs such as for
            graph generators, readers, and conversion functions.

        edge_attrs : str or dict, optional (default: None)
            ``edge_attrs`` holds information about edge attribute arguments
            and default values for those edge attributes.
            If a string, ``edge_attrs`` holds the function argument name that
            indicates a single edge attribute to include in the converted graph.
            The default value for this attribute is 1. To indicate that an argument
            is a list of attributes (all with default value 1), use e.g. ``"[attrs]"``.
            If a dict, ``edge_attrs`` holds a dict keyed by argument names, with
            values that are either the default value or, if a string, the argument
            name that indicates the default value.
            If None, function does not use edge attributes.

        node_attrs : str or dict, optional
            Like ``edge_attrs``, but for node attributes.

        preserve_edge_attrs : bool or str or dict, optional (default: False)
            If bool, whether to preserve all edge attributes.
            If a string, the parameter name that may indicate (with ``True`` or a
            callable argument) whether all edge attributes should be preserved
            when converting graphs to a backend graph type.
            If a dict of form ``{graph_name: {attr: default}}``, indicate
            pre-determined edge attributes (and defaults) to preserve for the
            indicated input graph.

        preserve_node_attrs : bool or str or dict, optional (default: False)
            Like ``preserve_edge_attrs``, but for node attributes.

        preserve_graph_attrs : bool or set, optional (default: False)
            If bool, whether to preserve all graph attributes.
            If set, which input graph arguments to preserve graph attributes.

        preserve_all_attrs : bool, optional (default: False)
            Whether to preserve all edge, node and graph attributes.
            If True, this overrides all the other preserve_*_attrs.

        mutates_input : bool or dict, optional (default: False)
            If bool, whether the function mutates an input graph argument.
            If dict of ``{arg_name: arg_pos}``, name and position of bool arguments
            that indicate whether an input graph will be mutated, and ``arg_name``
            may begin with ``"not "`` to negate the logic (for example, ``"not copy"``
            means we mutate the input graph when the ``copy`` argument is False).
            By default, dispatching doesn't convert input graphs to a different
            backend for functions that mutate input graphs.

        returns_graph : bool, optional (default: False)
            Whether the function can return or yield a graph object. By default,
            dispatching doesn't convert input graphs to a different backend for
            functions that return graphs.

        implemented_by_nx : bool, optional (default: True)
            Whether the function is implemented by NetworkX. If it is not, then the
            function is included in NetworkX only as an API to dispatch to backends.
            Default is True.

        # The prose below describes the implementation and a *possible* way to
        # generalize "networkx" as "just another backend". The code is structured
        # to perhaps someday support backend-to-backend conversions (including
        # simply passing objects from one backend directly to another backend;
        # the dispatch machinery does not necessarily need to perform conversions),
        # but since backend-to-backend matching is not yet supported, the following
        # code is merely a convenient way to implement dispatch behaviors that have
        # been carefully developed since NetworkX 3.0 and to include falling back
        # to the default NetworkX implementation.
        #
        # The current behavior for functions that don't mutate input graphs:
        #
        # 1. If backend is specified by `backend=` keyword, use it (done above).
        # 2. If input is from a backend other than "networkx", try to use it.
        #    - Note: if present, "networkx" graphs will be converted to the backend.
        # 3. If input is from "networkx" (or no backend), try to use backends from
        #    `backend_priority` before running with the default "networkx" implementation.
        # 4. If configured, "fall back" and run with the default "networkx" implementation.

        # Let's determine the order of backends we should try according
        # to `backend_priority`, `backend_fallback`, and input backends.
        # There are two† dimensions of priorities to consider:
        #   backend_priority > unspecified > backend_fallback
        # and
        #   backend of an input > not a backend of an input
        # These are combined to form five groups of priorities as such:
        #
        #                    input   ~input
        #                  +-------+-------+
        # backend_priority |   1   |   2   |
        #      unspecified |   3   |  N/A  | (if only 1)
        # backend_fallback |   4   |   5   |
        #                  +-------+-------+
        #
        # This matches the behaviors we developed in versions 3.0 to 3.2, it
        # ought to cover virtually all use cases we expect, and I (@eriknw) don't
        # think it can be done any simpler (although it can be generalized further
        # and made to be more complicated to capture 100% of *possible* use cases).
        # Some observations:
        #
        #   1. If an input is in `backend_priority`, it will be used before trying a
        #      backend that is higher priority in `backend_priority` and not an input.
        #   2. To prioritize converting from one backend to another even if both implement
        #      a function, list one in `backend_priority` and one in `backend_fallback`.
        #   3. To disable conversions, set `backend_priority` and `backend_fallback` to [].
        #
        # †: There is actually a third dimension of priorities:
        #        should_run == True > should_run == False
        #    Backends with `can_run == True` and `should_run == False` are tried last.
