Description
A frequent source of confusion in 0.10 is the distinction between x
and 'x'
in
>>> x = Binary('x')
The former is a dimod.BinaryQuadraticModel
object, the latter is a string label of a variable. This leads to confusing behavior like #921.
Would likely require #966 and #923.
The biggest challenge will be hunting down all of the locations that take a variable label and updating them. Though updating dimod.Variables
would be an obvious place to start.
A good first step would be to raise a better error in some of the most common places it happens.
