Comment(by kcrisman):
It doesn't matter. Or, at worst, we add some documentation to clarify
that.
The reason it doesn't matter is that this is still ''better'' than the
other. Unless you can produce some (natural) examples where
optimize.brent does the same.
The Scipy documentation is not 100% clear on what is done, and it's
conceivable they are the same. It's certainly possible that in fact using
optimize.brent in the way I'm suggesting would be just as 'bad' as the
previous one, or even essentially equivalent. But it would be nice to
have an explicit example of this before we resort to that.
