The ##9215 is just a name (a gensym(), see the Metaprogramming section of the
manual) for a "hidden type" that gets created.
Unfortunately, currently there isn't a good alternative to modifying the call
syntax of the function in Optim. You could open an issue over there to discuss
it. (Of course, you can always make such changes on your own machine without
asking for permission :-). )
