<p>Hi <a href="https://github.com/rcurtin" class="user-mention">@rcurtin</a> ,<br>
Yes, I agree with your proposal. I think it is the best option that we have, unfortunately.<br>
I have implemented that in <a href="https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/pull/747/commits/3b15fdff5817e124b1a33c1dd390da71b2fce8c0" class="commit-link"><tt>3b15fdf</tt></a>.<br>
Thanks!</p>
