class MonteCarlo;

//! A simple sampler.
/** This sampler randomizes the conformation and then uses Monte Carlo
    and conjugate gradient steps to search for good solutions. Each
    Monte Carlo move is followed by the specified number of
    conjugate gradient steps before it is decided whether to accept
    or reject the move. When the sampler encounters a solution that
    passes all of the restraint score cutoffs, it will accept the solution
    and move on to generating another one.

    At the moment it only support optimization of Cartesian coordinates,
    but this will be fixed when people ask for it
    (and they already have :-). We are also open to supporting a wider
    variety of optimization protocols (eg only do conjugate gradient
    steps occasionally).
