*& should be just *, and it should be * from the previous patch, so no
change expected here.

Aha, here we should be calling:

		algo->prepare(context_, params);

But as this is a transition with the existing algorithms also running,
perhaps you might want to call

		algo->prepare(context_, &params_);

Until after this ^ is removed, at which point the loop calls to prepare
can go directly to params, and params_ can be removed entirely from the
class.


With that,
