Chain(layers...)
Chain(name = layer, ...)

Collects multiple layers / functions to be called in sequence on a given input. Supports indexing and slicing, m[2] or m[1:end-1], and if names are given, m[:name] == m[1] etc.

Examples

			julia> m = Chain(x -> x^2, x -> x+1);

julia> m(5) == 26
true

julia> m = Chain(Dense(10 => 5, tanh), Dense(5 => 2));

julia> x = rand32(10, 32);

julia> m(x) == m[2](m[1](x))
true

julia> m2 = Chain(enc = Chain(Flux.flatten, Dense(10 => 5, tanh)), 
                  dec = Dense(5 => 2));

julia> m2(x) == (m2[:dec] ∘ m2[:enc])(x)
true

For large models, there is a special type-unstable path which can reduce compilation times. This can be used by supplying a vector of layers Chain([layer1, layer2, ...]). This feature is somewhat experimental, beware!
