Sadly, Mata optimize is not available in Stata 9 or is it undocumented
there?
As help whatsnew9to10 shows, it was added in 10.0. Time to upgrade!
One problem that I've noticed with -ridder- is that it does not
understand global names longer than 8 symbols,...
You have DOS and Bill Gates to thank for that. Anything written before
Stata abandoned DOS support involves clumsy eight-character names on
official commands (like wntstmvq).
