 * @brief  constraint handler for linking constraints
 * @author Stefan Heinz
 * @author Jens Schulz
 *
 * The constraints handler stores linking constraints between a linking variable (integer or continuous) and an array of binary variables. Such
 * a linking constraint has the form:
 *
 * linkvar = sum_{i=1}^n {vals[i] * binvars[i]}
 *
 * 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.
 *
 *
 * @todo add pairwise comparison of constraints in presolving (fast hash table version and complete pairwise comparison)
 * @todo in case the integer variable is set to lower or upper bound it follows that only the corresponding binary
 * variable has a positive value which is one, this can be used to fasten the checking routine
