//! A Monte Carlo optimizer.
/** The optimizer uses a set of Mover objects to propose steps.  At
    each sampling iteration, all Movers added to MonteCarlo are called to
    generate a new proposed configuration.

    The movers propose some modification, which is then accepted or
    rejected based on the Metropolis criterion. Optionally, a number
    of local optimization steps are taken before the MonteCarlo step
    is accepted or rejected.

    If you want to sequentially call one mover at every iteration, wrap
    all movers into a SerialMover first, and then add the SerialMover to
    MonteCarlo.

    By default, the lowest score state encountered is returned.
