Procedure for Changing Parameter Range
Allow for changing the range over which a given parameter is experimented.
This might "just work" now with main being restarted with a different range.
Similar to #35.
Unfortunately, this definitely will not work correctly if you restart main with a different range. This would require either writing scripts to extract the old range and create a new experiment or rewriting some of the internals of spearmint.

Note that this is fixed in the new spearmint repo (https://github.com/HIPS/Spearmint)
Is this purely because the parameters are decoded with e.g.
variable['min'] + u[index]*(variable['max']-variable['min'])
Yes and the parameters and jobs are stored within the grid object in the unit hypercube (encoded).

So in order to convert a saved pickle file, I would have to: 0) Stop all running jobs and stop main.py
- Modify: expt-grid.pkl/vmap/variables
- Rescale: expt-grid.pkl/grid
- Change the: config.pb file
Is that it, or am I missing something?
Yeah I think that's it!
