Similarity to LineSearches is expected since both are providing very similar functionalities. LineSearch is meant to unify the line search algorithms in the SciML ecosystem -- NonlinearSolve/Optimization etc using the consistent ADTypes API. Currently it is going to be for more internal usage and once the API stabilizes we will make it more user friendly.

FWIW it also wraps LineSearches.jl and augments with with the AD tools
