IUserOptimizer
IUserOptimizer defines a collection of properties reflecting both the attributes of the optimizer, as
defined in the extension's xml file, and the current values for the corresponding properties. For instance,
it provides the value of the capability MaximumNumberOfInputParameters which can be checked against
the actual number of defined input parameters in the optimization study (property NumberOfInputParametersDefined). An object implementing IUserOptimizer is passed to each callback declared in the extension.
