Hi, I was loading many Flux models (bson file) and had no idea about the layer information.
I am able to find the activation function by calling the field “σ”.
I searched around but just could not find the field name to get the input and output size as a variable. I was expecting “layer.in” but does not work.
Thanks!!
```julia
using Flux
layer = Dense(1,2,relu)
layer.σ
#layer.in #??
```

Seems to be `layer.weight` to access the weight matrix, where the first dimension of that matrix is the output size and the second dimension is the input size.
