blme optimizer warnings

?? Without looking very carefully at this:

* unless your response variable is somehow already centered at zero by 
design, a model with no intercept at all is going to be 
weird/problematic (random effects are always zero-centered by definition).

* is it really OK to have an infinite scale in your wishart prior?? (It 
may be fine, I'm not immediately familiar with the blme 
parameterizations, it just looks weird)

* the fact that your standard devs are all exactly 1 suggests that the 
optimizer bailed out before actually doing anything (these are the 
default starting values).

 ? Can you provide a reproducible example?
