-- Make defaultlearner able to take extra arguments
-- Make ctransforms_model a supervised_model (adds apply_many)
-- Add expanded argument to defaultlearner
-- Fix corner case in SDA
-- Fix repeated_kmeans
-- Fix parallel gridminimise on Windows
-- Add multi_label argument to normaliselabels
-- Add multi_label argument to nfoldcrossvalidation.foldgenerator
-- Do not fork a process in gridminimise if nprocs == 1 (makes for easier
