 * FlatZinc is a low-level solver input language that is the target language for MiniZinc. It is designed to be easy to
 * translate into the form required by a solver. For more details see https://www.minizinc.org. The format is described
 * at https://github.com/MiniZinc/minizinc-doc/blob/develop/en/fzn-spec.rst.

 * @todo Support more general constraint types
