Ted, Matt,
I know I must sound like a perpetual fussbudget, but ... it's not that
simple. For one thing, how will you know there's an error? Look for a bogus
return value? What's bogus? Look for a throw? Hah! That's more inconsistent
than most across implementations. Who's going to check? Only the client can
really say whether they're looking at a bogus return value --- that'll depend on
the state of the OSI (unloaded, imposed solution, solution from solver).
It's a reasonable idea to provide a default (if inefficient)
implementation in the base class. But arguably better to fix OsiCpx so that it
knows when to use a solution supplied by the user and when to use a solution
from the solver, and when it has no solution available.
