Description

These don't really work properly at the moment. For example

class MySolver(AbstractWrappedSolver):
    ...

diffeqsolve(solver=MySolver(Kvaerno3()), stepsize_controller=PIDController(...), ...)

does not work because MySolver doesn't have a nonlinear_solver attribute for the PIDController to apply its rtol and atol to.

Research direction

Start by tracing AbstractWrappedSolver through diffeqsolve and PIDController, using the MySolver(Kvaerno3()) example as the reproduction case. Determine how wrapped solvers should expose or handle the nonlinear solver settings, then verify that PIDController can apply rtol and atol without a missing nonlinear_solver attribute.
