[Wien] -eece and -hf switch for hybrid functionals

No. Where do you read this ????

-eece  is "exact exchange correlated electrons", and is a local version of HF for one type
        of localized electrons (3d or f4). It is similar to LDA+U and very cheap.
-hf    is full Hartree-Fock, applicable to all kind of systems. But it is very expensive
        (and expensive does not mean it is "better" than plain GGA in many cases). If you
        don't know why you want to use it, don't use it.
