    Module Contents
    ===============
    This module defines a layer class.  Its operations are simple.
    When a layer is constructed it is passed the address of a proto-
    typical neuron.  It uses the neuron's clone function to populate
    itself with a specified number of neurons, all of the clones type.

    The ith layer input is passed directly to the ith input of each
    neuron in the layer.  Each neuron output is a layer output.
    
    Operations
    ==========
    linearNeuron ln(3);
    layer hidden(5,&ln);      Creates a layer with 5 linear neurons
    hidden.input(1,value);    sets 2nd input of each neuron to value
    hidden.weight(2,1,value); sets 3rd weight of 2nd neuron to value
    hidden.output(2);         returns output of 3rd neuron in layer
