What if we get *really* ugly...

If we define a constraint involving variables A and B that gets placed
on B, then a constraint involving B and C that gets placed on C, then
a constraint involving C... then we need to be able to move
constraints recursively.  But I think we can prove that recursive
movement plus a tree search is enough to handle any possible
(consistent) scenario...

Definitely!

Thanks.
