#' @title Dictionary of Optimizer
#'
#' @usage NULL
#' @format [R6::R6Class] object inheriting from [mlr3misc::Dictionary].
#'
#' @description
#' A simple [mlr3misc::Dictionary] storing objects of class [Optimizer].
#' Each optimizer has an associated help page, see `mlr_optimizer_[id]`.
#'
#' This dictionary can get populated with additional optimizer by add-on packages.
#'
#' For a more convenient way to retrieve and construct optimizer, see [opt()]/[opts()].
#'
#' @section Methods:
#' See [mlr3misc::Dictionary].
#'
#' @section S3 methods:
#' * `as.data.table(dict, ..., objects = FALSE)`\cr
#'   [mlr3misc::Dictionary] -> [data.table::data.table()]\cr
#'   Returns a [data.table::data.table()] with fields "key", "label", "param_classes", "properties" and "packages" as columns.
#'   If `objects` is set to `TRUE`, the constructed objects are returned in the list column named `object`.
