' This example considers the following nonconvex nonlinear problem
'
'  minimize   sin(x) + cos(2*x) + 1
'  subject to  0.25*exp(x) - x <= 0
'              -1 <= x <= 4
'
'  We show you two approaches to solve it as a nonlinear model:
'
'  1) Set the paramter FuncNonlinear = 1 to handle all general function
'     constraints as true nonlinear functions.
'
'  2) Set the attribute FuncNonlinear = 1 for each general function
'     constraint to handle these as true nonlinear functions.
