 * @brief Optimizer parameter container class
 *
 * This class is a container class for parameters of a function that are to
 * be optimized. The optimizer function is defined by the abstract
 * GOptimizerFunction class.
 *
 * The class holds a flat array of pointers to optimizer parameters. The
 * class can deal with parameters that are allocated by the class itself,
 * or with pointers that are passed by a client and allocated/deallocated
 * by the client.
