I am for the uniform PetscObjectAddOptionsChecker(). Should it really be called<div>Checker? Sounds like validation. I think there is some value in treating SetFromOptions</div><div>as a generic facility that can be extended. This is "aspect oriented programming" :)</div>

KSPAddOptionsChecker() is never used in PETSc. Is it needed? Can it be removed?<br>
<br>
Or should we have a PetscObjectAddOptionsChecker() instead, thus expanding this (unneeded capability) to all PETSc objects/solvers?<br>
