Alpine checks solver name - Why?
Why does Alpine check for the string of solvers and throws an error if it is a string it doesn't like? What is trying to be accomplished? I would be interested in finding a better solution.
As I recall, this is from an older generation of JuMP when it was not possible if a given solver supports a specific type of problem. I believe this check was trying to check that the given solver supports the "NLPBlock". Presumably now, post MOI, there is a better way to accomplish this check.
I think this is used to set solver-specific solver attributes in case the solver is Ipopt
This is done to access a few solver-specific attributes of Gurobi (soln pool, etc). But this can be made better for other nlp/minlp solvers as it is mainly used for logging purposes.
