"""
Some key layers used for constructing a Capsule Network. These layers can used to construct CapsNet on other dataset, 
not just on MNIST.
*NOTE*: some functions can be implemented in multiple ways, I keep all of them. You can try them for yourself just by
uncommenting them and commenting their counterparts.
