//     Function: get_param_into
//  Description: A handy convenience template function that extracts a
//               parameter of the indicated type from the
//               FactoryParams list.  If the parameter type is found,
//               it fills the pointer and returns true; otherwise, it
//               sets the pointer to NULL and returns false.
