Returns all variables that maintain their moving averages.

    tf.compat.v1.moving_average_variables(
        scope=None
    )

If an `ExponentialMovingAverage` object is created and the `apply()`
method is called on a list of variables, these variables will
be added to the `GraphKeys.MOVING_AVERAGE_VARIABLES` collection.
This convenience function returns the contents of that collection.

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `scope` | (Optional.) A string. If supplied, the resulting list is filtered to include only items whose `name` attribute matches `scope` using `re.match`. Items without a `name` attribute are never returned if a scope is supplied. The choice of `re.match` means that a `scope` without special tokens filters by prefix. |
