OptimTests should be used in tests in Optim. Just place the dependency in the tests/REQUIRE . This would be a good time to have a look a the sort of weird code I have going on wrt choosing and running test problems in Optim

My main use-case for this is benchmarking Optim. This package currently allows the user to solve a CUTEst.jl problem. Do you, @timholy , also see the scope containing the examples we have in the problems folder https://github.com/JuliaOpt/Optim.jl/tree/9d82523820a7a2674ac142c3074b7fc41eeebf83/src/problems? Then we need to either have two sets of functions, or dispatch on something else than a string. We could create cutest and problem string literals (cutest"SENSORS", problem"Himmelblau", ...) or maybe something even smarter.

Also, if we want to log benchmarking of unconstrained and constrained optimization, should it happen here, or in OptimBenchmarks.jl (doesn't exist yet).
