 *  a'*x' + b'*y' == c'. If x' == y', this leads to the detection of redundancy if a' == -b' and c' == 0,
 *  of infeasibility, if a' == -b' and c' != 0, or to a variable fixing x' == c'/(a'+b') (and possible

 *  In the second step, the variable to be aggregated is chosen among x' and y', prefering a less strict variable
 *  type as aggregation variable (i.e. continuous variables are preferred over implicit integers, implicit integers
 *  over integers, and integers over binaries). If none of the variables is continuous, it is tried to find an integer
 *  aggregation (i.e. integral coefficients a'' and b'', such that a''*x' + b''*y' == c''). This can lead to
 *  the detection of infeasibility (e.g. if c'' is fractional), or to a rejection of the aggregation (denoted by
 *  aggregated == FALSE), if the resulting integer coefficients are too large and thus numerically instable.
 *
 *  The output flags have the following meaning:
 *  - infeasible: the problem is infeasible

 *  - aggregated: the aggregation was successfully performed (the variables were not aggregated before)
