/**@file   cons_superindicator.h

 * @brief  constraint handler for indicator constraints over arbitrary constraint types
 * @author Ambros Gleixner
 * @author Frederic Pythoud
 *
 * Superindicator constraints are constraints of the form
 * \f[
 *    x_i = 1 \Rightarrow C(x)
 * \f]
 * where \f$ x_i \f$ is a binary variable and \f$ C(\dot) \f$ a constraint.  The superindicator constraint is satisfied
 * if and only if x_i is zero or C is satisfied.
