+RP answers: If we opt for this lazy compilation mechanism, the library needs
+to know what to put into a shared, and what to expect as input. The
+programmer should give hints to the library by saying this value will always
+be constant, or this is a hyper-parameter that I might want to change, and
+when I do that I don't want to recompile everything so put it as an
+argument. Even when the compilation is done by the user, it would be helpful 
+to have some function that collects all the parameters for you. What I mean
+is that it would be nice to write something like 
+
+  corruption_layer_1 = Parameter ( value = 0.1, name = 'c1')
+  # Followed by  (many) lines of code 
+  f = function ( results.inputs()+ results.hyper-params(), result )
+
+
+where results.hyper-params parses the graph, collects the hyper-parameter 
+and returns them as a list of theano.Variables wrappen in theano.In with 
+a default value and a name. You could call the function either as 
+
+    f()
+or 
+    f(c1 = 0.2)
