Re: [eclipse-users] reified constraints

In a related problem, I want use the reified version of in/2 from  
ic_sets:

B #= (I in Set)

but I find that it only propagates when I is instantiated, not when  
it is constrained, so:

[eclipse 32]: I :: [0,1,2,3,4], B #= (I in [1,2]), I #> 2.

B = B{[0, 1]}
I = I{[3, 4]}

B is not instantiated even though clearly I cannot be in [1,2].

I have discovered, however, that the following trick works:

[eclipse 8]: I :: [0,1,2,3,4], J in [1,2], B #= (I #= J), I #> 2.

I = I{[3, 4]}
J = J{[1, 2]}
B = 0
Yes (0.00s cpu)

Can anyone think of a good reason why doing this would be inadvisable?
