initAlgorithm() method This allows 2 benefits: - algorithms can be subclassed and have subclasses add additional parameters/outputs to the algorithm. With the previous approach of declaring parameters/outputs in the constructor, it's not possible to call virtual methods to add additional parameters/ outputs (since you can't call virtual methods from a constructor). - initAlgorithm takes a variant map argument, allowing the algorithm to dynamically adjust its declared parameters and outputs according to this configuration map. This potentially allows model algorithms which can be configured to have variable numbers of parameters and outputs at run time. E.g. a "router" algorithm which directs features to one of any number of output sinks depending on some user configured criteria.
