            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object represents a deep neural network.  In particular, it is
                the simplified interface through which layer objects interact with their
                subnetworks.  A layer's two important tasks are to (1) take outputs from its
                subnetwork and forward propagate them though itself and (2) to backwards
                propagate an error gradient through itself and onto its subnetwork.
                The idea of a subnetwork is illustrated in the following diagram:

                  +---------------------------------------------------------+
                  | loss <-- layer1 <-- layer2 <-- ... <-- layern <-- input |
                  +---------------------------------------------------------+
                                      ^                            ^
                                      \__ subnetwork for layer1 __/

                Therefore, by "subnetwork" we mean the part of the network closer to the
                input.

                  it through themselves and store the results into their subnetwork's

    {

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                Each layer in a deep neural network can be thought of as a function,
                f(data,parameters), that takes in a data tensor, some parameters, and
                produces an output tensor.  You create an entire deep network by composing
                these functions.  Importantly, you are able to use a wide range of
                different functions to accommodate the task you are trying to accomplish.
                Dlib includes a number of common layer types but if you want to define your
                own then you simply implement a class with the same interface as
                EXAMPLE_LAYER_.

                Note that there is no dlib::EXAMPLE_LAYER_ type.  It is shown here purely
                to document the interface that a layer object must implement.

                  anything in particular but it must exist, that is, it is required that
                  layer objects be default constructable.

                - Constructs this object from item.  This form of constructor is optional
                  but it allows you to provide a conversion from one layer type to another.
                  For example, the following code is valid only if my_layer2 can be
                  constructed from my_layer1:
                    relu<fc<my_layer1<fc<input<matrix<float>>>>>> my_dnn1;
                    relu<fc<my_layer2<fc<input<matrix<float>>>>>> my_dnn2(my_dnn1);
                  This kind of pattern is useful if you want to use one type of layer
                  during training but a different type of layer during testing since it
                  allows you to easily convert between related deep neural network types.

                  These gradients are stored into #sub and #params_grad, respectively. To be
                  precise, the gradients are taken of a function f(sub,get_layer_params())
                  which is defined thusly:   
                    - let OUT be the output of forward(sub,OUT).
                    - let f(sub,get_layer_params()) == dot(OUT, gradient_input)
                  Then we define the following gradient vectors: 
                    - PARAMETER_GRADIENT == gradient of f(sub,get_layer_params()) with
                      respect to get_layer_params(). 
                    - for all valid I:
                        - DATA_GRADIENT_I == gradient of f(sub,get_layer_params()) with
                          respect to layer<I>(sub).get_output() (recall that forward() can
                          draw inputs from the immediate sub layer, sub.subnet(), or
                          any earlier layer.  So you must consider the gradients with
                          respect to all inputs drawn from sub)
                  Finally, backward() adds these gradients into the output by performing:

                    - for all valid I:
