Description: Tools to assist in safely applying user generated
        objective and derivative function to optimization programs.
        These are primarily function minimization methods with at most
        bounds and masks on the parameters. Provides a way to check the
        basic computation of objective functions that the user
        provides, along with proposed gradient and Hessian functions,
        as well as to wrap such functions to avoid failures when
        inadmissible parameters are provided. Check bounds and masks.
        Check scaling or optimality conditions. Perform an axial search
        to seek lower points on the objective function surface.
        Includes forward, central and backward gradient approximation
        codes.
