        :param outputs: outputs of the inner function of scan
        :param info: dictionary containing different properties of
            the scan op (like number of different types of
            arguments, name, mode, if it should run on GPU or
            not, etc.)
        :param typeConstructor: function that constructs a Theano TensorType
            able to represent a float32 ndarray.

        Note: ``typeConstructor`` had been added to refactor how Theano
        deals with the GPU. If it runs on the GPU, scan needs to construct
        certain outputs (those who reside in the GPU memory) as CudaNdarray.
        However we can not import cuda in this file (as it is in sandbox,
        and not available on each machine) so the workaround is that the GPU
        optimization (which is aware of cuda types) passes to the
        constructor of this class a function that is able to construct
        CudaNdarray. This way the class Scan does not need to be aware of
        CudaNdarray, it just constructs any float32 tensor using this
        function (which by default constructs normal tensors). Note that the
        second assumption in this code is that any float32 output or input
        will be moved on the GPU if the optimization gets applied (following
        Theano's philosophy of moving as much as possible on gpu).
