In ABCoptim: Implementation of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Optimization

#' An implementation of the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm
#' 
#' This is an implementation of Karaboga (2005) ABC optimization algorithm. It
#' was developed upon the basic version programmed in \code{C} and distributed
#' at the algorithm's official website (see the references).
#' 
#' Please consider that this version is in alpha state of development, thus any
#' evident (precision) error should be blaimed to the package author (not to
#' the algorithm itself)
#'
