[Coin-SMI] Re: Re: Changing right hand side of inequalities

[ajking at mac.com]

SMI assumes nonzero stochastic data adds to or replaces something in 
the core data.  When you have an explicit lower bound and an implicit 
upper bound then the software has to decide how to interpret a request 
to change the "right hand side".  Does it go to the upper bound or the 
lower bound, or both?  I prefer the precision of the direct interface, 
and it is easier to maintain and debug.

I use the smps cases for regression testing, mainly.
