In particular, the first line `x = layer.data("images")` creates variable x and a Feed operator that copies a column from the minibatch to x. `y = layer.fc(x)` creates not only the FC operator and output variable y, but also two parameters, W and b.

Initialization operators are kind of "run-once" operators -- the `Run` method increments a class data member counter so to run at most once. By doing so, a parameter wouldn't be initialized repeatedly, say, in every minibatch.
In this example, all operators are created as `OpDesc` protobuf messages, and all variables are `VarDesc`. These protobuf messages are saved in a `BlockDesc` protobuf message.
