   * A class for a soft partial prior on any Lie type, with a mask over Expmap
   * parameters. Note that this will use Logmap() to find a tangent space parameterization
   * for the variable attached, so this may fail for highly nonlinear manifolds.
   *
   * The prior vector used in this factor is stored in compressed form, such that
   * it only contains values for measurements that are to be compared, and they are in
   * the same order as VALUE::Logmap().  The mask will determine which components to extract
   * in the error function.
   *
   * For practical use, it would be good to subclass this factor and have the class type
   * construct the mask.
   * @tparam VALUE is the type of variable the prior effects
