 *
 * This reader/writer handles MPS files in extended MPS format, as it
 * is used by CPLEX. In the extended format the limits on variable
 * name lengths and coefficients are considerably relaxed. The columns
 * in the format are then separated by whitespaces.
 *
 * @todo Check whether constructing the names for aggregated constraint yields name clashes (aggrXXX).
