 * The constraints handler stores linking constraints between a linking variable (continuous or integer) and an array of binary variables. Such
 * a linking constraint has the form:
 * \f[
 * y = \sum_{i=1}^n {c_i * x_i}
 * \f]
 * with linking variable (continuous or integer) \f$ y \f$, binary variables \f$ x_1, \dots, x_n \f$ and offset \f$b \in Q\f$, and
 * with the additional side condition that exactly one binary variable has to be one (set partitioning condition).
 *
 * This constraint can be created only with the linking variable, if it is an integer variable. In this case the binary variables are only created on
 * demand. That is, whenever someone asks for the binary variables. Therefore, such constraints can be used to get a
 * "binary representation" of the domain of the linking variable which will be dynamically created.
