// DynamicCostFunctionToFunctor allows users to use CostFunction
// objects in templated functors which are to be used for automatic
// differentiation. It works similar to CostFunctionToFunctor, with the
// difference that it allows you to wrap a cost function with dynamic numbers
// of parameters and residuals.
//
// For example, let us assume that
//
//  class IntrinsicProjection : public CostFunction {
//    public:
//      IntrinsicProjection(const double* observation);
//      bool Evaluate(double const* const* parameters,
//                    double* residuals,
//                    double** jacobians) const override;
//  };
//
// is a cost function that implements the projection of a point in its
// local coordinate system onto its image plane and subtracts it from
// the observed point projection. It can compute its residual and
// either via analytic or numerical differentiation can compute its
// jacobians. The intrinsics are passed in as parameters[0] and the point as
// parameters[1].
//
// Now we would like to compose the action of this CostFunction with
// the action of camera extrinsics, i.e., rotation and
// translation. Say we have a templated function
//
//   template<typename T>
//   void RotateAndTranslatePoint(double const* const* parameters,
//                                double* residuals);
//
// Then we can now do the following,
//
// struct CameraProjection {
//   CameraProjection(const double* observation)
//       : intrinsic_projection_.(new IntrinsicProjection(observation)) {
//   }
//   template <typename T>
//   bool operator()(T const* const* parameters,
//                   T* residual) const {
//     const T* rotation = parameters[0];
//     const T* translation = parameters[1];
//     const T* intrinsics = parameters[2];
//     const T* point = parameters[3];
//     T transformed_point[3];
//     RotateAndTranslatePoint(rotation, translation, point, transformed_point);
//
//     // Note that we call intrinsic_projection_, just like it was
//     // any other templated functor.
//     const T* projection_parameters[2];
//     projection_parameters[0] = intrinsics;
//     projection_parameters[1] = transformed_point;
//     return intrinsic_projection_(projection_parameters, residual);
//   }
