+    """Expanded Replacement and Extension of the 'optim' Function:
+
+    Provides a replacement and extension of the optim() function to call to
+    several function minimization codes in R in a single statement. These
+    methods handle smooth, possibly box constrained functions of several or
+    many parameters. Note that function 'optimr()' was prepared to simplify the
+    incorporation of minimization codes going forward. Also implements some
+    utility codes and some extra solvers, including safeguarded Newton methods.
+    Many methods previously separate are now included here. This is the version
+    for CRAN."""
