+/**
+ * Feedback for the CEC functions:
+ * So what you did was indeed make a copy of the BBOB function.
+ * While the code that performs the function evaluation, the code in the evaluate method
+ * is indeed exactly the same for both the BBOB suite and the CEC suite, the stuff that happens in
+ * transform_variables is different.
+ *
+ * For your information, how a problem is evaluated in iohexperimenter is as follows:
+ *
+ * problem(x_raw)
+ *  1. x_transformed = transform_variables(x_raw)
+ *  2. y_raw = evaluate(y_raw)
+ *  3. y_transformed = transform_objectives(y_raw)
+ *  4. return y_transformed
+ *
+ * For BBOB, the code in transform_variables is based on "randomly" generated transformations,
+ * while for CEC, these transformation matrices/vectors are defined in a set of flat files.
+ * This also means that for BBOB problems in theory we can generate any number of transformations,
+ * while for the CEC problems there is only one officially defined transformation set for a given
+ * function.
+ *
+ * What I would suggest, since most of the file parsing code is shared amongst all CEC functions,
+ * is that you make a shared parent class for all CEC functions, which only performs such shared
+ * tasks, and put the function specific code, i.e. the rastrigin evaluation/transformation code
+ * in the function class. Take a look at the bbob_problem.hpp for an idea on how to this.
+ *
+ * Below I give an example of such a structure. This is not complete, nor fully working, but hope you get the idea.
