Suggestion: torch.Tensor:copy(tensor, [resizeAs]) about torch7 HOT 2 OPEN

it is not clear with copyAs as to what the "As" is doing. i would not think that copyAs means resizeAs + copy.

from torch7.

Yeah but it is shorter than a:copyResizeAs(b).

We could also just modify the existing copy interface to include a [resizeAs] flag that default to false. So then we would have a very elegant : a:copy(b, true).

I know its a small fix. Its just that the a:resizeAs(b):copy(b) pattern is so common. Its also kind of counter-intuitive since most other methods a:add(b,c), a:cmul(b,c), etc. automatically resize the result tensor. Although I do understand the necessity of requiring an explicit resize before a copy.
