-- This function is not easy to understand. It works as follows:
--
-- - gather all parameter tensors for this module (and children);
--   count all parameter values (floats)
-- - create one ginormous memory area (Storage object) with room for all
--   parameters
-- - remap each parameter tensor to point to an area within the ginormous
--   Storage, and copy it there
--
-- It has the effect of making all parameters point to the same memory area,
-- which is then returned.
--
-- The purpose is to allow operations over all parameters (such as momentum
-- updates and serialization), but it assumes that all parameters are of
-- the same type (and, in the case of CUDA, on the same device), which
-- is not always true. Use for_each() to iterate over this module and
-- children instead.
--
-- Module._flattenTensorBuffer can be used by other packages (e.g. cunn)
-- to specify the type of temporary buffers. For example, the temporary
-- buffers for CudaTensor could be FloatTensor, to avoid GPU memory usage.
--
-- TODO: This logically belongs to torch.Tensor, not nn.
