We want to have as unambigous naming as possible.
Porting code from Caffe also brought some ambigous naming with it, especially around the word "parameter"/"param" which to make things worse already has a meaning in programming languages.

Where "parameter"/"param" is used to mean the synaptic weight, we use weight.

Where "parameter/param" is used to mean "hyper-paramter" we use config (e.g. SolverParameter -> SolverConfig).

This issue should be closed once we finish porting code from Caffe.

Now that we merged #49 there shouldn't be any traces of it left.
