/**
 * A constraint with an assignment context. In order to be able to hold multiple assignments in memory
 * it is desired for all the assignment dependent data a constraint may need (to effectively enumerate
 * conflicting values), to store these data in a separate class (implementing the 
 * {@link AssignmentConstraintContext} interface). This context is created by calling
 * {@link ConstraintWithContext#createAssignmentContext(Assignment)} and accessed by
 * {@link ConstraintWithContext#getContext(Assignment)}.
 *

 * @see AssignmentContext
