Talking from personal experience - and I've been using intelligent Optimizers for quite a number of years optimizing combinations of continuous and "discrete" control parameters. Fred's IO has worked extremely well - in that I'm able to find optiminiums successfully, it may be a little more tricky, but not impossible. There are things that would help to IO work better. Nevertheless, I do have more problems with cmae with a lot of discrete parameters. But I suspect that's more to do with configuration of cmae rather than the ability of cmae itself.
