How about going even further, and not even returning `x`. Rather, stuff
it inside `info`:

    sol = minimize(fun, x0, [jac, constraints], options)
    x = sol.x

Just change the solution object to a dict subclass with attribute
accessors, and you're done.

And maybe even add `def __array__(self): return self.x`, so you can do
`asarray(sol)`?
