  Reposition the README's opening to clearly state its definitive role

  Why:

  CURRENT

  ## Rotary Embeddings - Pytorch
  
  A standalone library for adding rotary embeddings to transformers in Pytorch, following its success as relative positional encoding. Specifically it will make rotating information into any axis of a tensor easy and efficient, whether they be fixed positional or learned. This library will give you state of the art results for positional embedding, at little costs.
  
  My gut also tells me there is something more to rotations that can be exploited in artificial neural networks.

  ## Rotary Embeddings - Pytorch
  
  **The standalone PyTorch implementation of Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE)**, from the RoFormer paper. This library provides an efficient, state-of-the-art solution for integrating relative positional encoding into your transformer models, making it easy to apply rotations to any tensor axis for superior positional embedding results. Designed for deep learning researchers and engineers.
