--[[ Constant ]]--
-- Outputs a constant value given an input.
-- If nInputDim is specified, uses the input to determine the size of
-- the batch. The value is then replicated over the batch.
-- You can use this with nn.ConcatTable() to append constant inputs to
-- an input : nn.ConcatTable():add(nn.Constant(v)):add(nn.Identity()) .
