+        Note: ``typeConstructor`` had been added to refactor how

+        to construct certain outputs (those who reside in the GPU
+        memory) as the GPU-specific type.  However we can not import
+        gpu code in this file (as it is in sandbox, and not available
+        on each machine) so the workaround is that the GPU
+        optimization passes to the constructor of this class a
+        function that is able to construct a GPU type. This way the
+        class Scan does not need to be aware of the details for the
+        GPU, it just constructs any tensor using this function (which
+        by default constructs normal tensors).
