Comment (by ncohen):

 Helloooooo David,

 I find that the name of `get_best_objective_value` clashes heavily with
 what the method is supposed to do. When I read `get_best_objective_value`,
 all I can think of is that it returns the cost of the best solution found
 so far.

 What would you think of something like `best_known_objective_bound`
 instead ?

 Similarly, the description of the function is sometimes confusing. I am
 not sure that I understand what "the minimum objective function of all
 unexplored nodes" means.

 What about something like that:

 ---
 This method returns the best upper (resp. lower) bound on the optimal
 value of the objective function in a maximization (resp. minimization)
 problem. It is equal to the output of :meth:`get_objective_value` if the
 MILP found an optimal solution, but it can differ if it was interrupted
 manually or after a time limit (cf :meth:`solver_parameter`).
 ---

 Just a proposition of course, we can modify whatever you don't like in
 this text.
