[Developers] no assignment operator for init_bounded_number_vector

[Arni Magnusson]

This "set_initial_value" function sounds useful.

Can we recommend its use for the general modeller?

If so, we should document it and I'll add it to the list of recognized 
keywords in the IDE (http://admb-project.org/tools/editors/emacs/admb.el).

Subject: [ADMB Users] Summary: Fwd: no assignment operator for
     init_bounded_number_vector

1) I was trying to initialize an init_bounded_number_vector parameter 
called logsrx in the initialization section but there was no assignment 
operator.

2) Chris Grandin (many thanks) knew just what to do and suggested the 
following code:

> logsrx.set_initial_value(srx_init);

Note that it is important to make sure the argument with the initial value 
is a double so there is no harm in using:

> logsrx.set_initial_value(value(srx_init));

3) Rick Methot pointed out that assignment to many classes (but not 
bounded_number_vectors) can be managed using the value function only.

3) I couldn't find any documentation re set_initial_value but Chris 
mentioned that "The definition is in src/nh99/mcmcvar.h on line 2489."

Cheers!
