    ``CMAOptions('verb')`` returns a subset of recognized options that
    contain 'verb' in there keyword name or (default) value or
    description.

    ``CMAOptions(opts)`` returns the subset of recognized options in

    Option values can be "written" in a string and, when passed to `fmin2`

    known values for dimension and population size (sample size, number
    of new solutions per iteration). All default option values are given
    as such a string.

    Details
    -------
    `CMAOptions` entries starting with ``tol`` are termination
    "tolerances".

    For `tolstagnation`, the median over the first and the second half
    of at least `tolstagnation` iterations are compared for both, the
    per-iteration best and per-iteration median function value.

    Example
    -------
    ::

        import cma
        cma.CMAOptions('tol')

    is a shortcut for ``cma.CMAOptions().match('tol')`` that returns all
    options that contain 'tol' in their name or description.

        import cma
        opts = cma.CMAOptions()

class MetaParameters(object):
    """collection of many meta parameters.

    Meta parameters are either annotated constants or refer to
    options from `CMAOptions` or are arguments to `fmin` or to the
    `NoiseHandler` class constructor.

    `MetaParameters` take only effect if the source code is modified by
    a meta parameter weaver module searching for ## meta_parameters....
    and modifying the next line.

    Details
    -------
    This code contains a single class instance `meta_parameters`

    Some interfaces rely on parameters being either `int` or
    `float` only. More sophisticated choices are implemented via
    ``choice_value = {1: 'this', 2: 'or that'}[int_param_value]`` here.

    CAVEAT
    ------
    `meta_parameters` should not be used to determine default
    arguments, because these are assigned only once and for all during
    module import.
