 * @ingroup DEFPLUGINS_CONS
 * @brief Constraint handler for linear constraints in their most general form, \f$lhs <= a^T x <= rhs\f$.
 * @author Tobias Achterberg

 * @author Michael Winkler

 *
 *  Linear constraints are separated with a high priority, because they are easy
 *  to separate. Instead of using the global cut pool, the same effect can be
 *  implemented by adding linear constraints to the root node, such that they are
 *  separated each time, the linear constraints are separated. A constraint
 *  handler, which generates linear constraints in this way should have a lower
 *  separation priority than the linear constraint handler, and it should have a
 *  separation frequency that is a multiple of the frequency of the linear
 *  constraint handler. In this way, it can be avoided to separate the same cut
 *  twice, because if a separation run of the handler is always preceded by a
 *  separation of the linear constraints, the priorily added constraints are
 *  always satisfied.
 *
 *  Linear constraints are enforced and checked with a very low priority. Checking
 *  of (many) linear constraints is much more involved than checking the solution
 *  values for integrality. Because we are separating the linear constraints quite
 *  often, it is only necessary to enforce them for integral solutions. A constraint
 *  handler which generates pool cuts in its enforcing method should have an
 *  enforcing priority smaller than that of the linear constraint handler to avoid
 *  regenerating constraints which already exist.
