%
% The CHR runtime system,
% the constraint store.
%
% Two functions: a) storage b) reactivation triggered by bindings
%
% Reactivation is symmetric: if two variables with suspensions
% are unified, both suspensions run. (Both variables got more
% constrained)
%
% *** Sequence of wakeups determines termination of handler leq ***
%
% Another sequence that could matter is the one
% generated by the iterators
%
% Layout:
%
%	   suspension(Id,State,Closure,Generation,PropagationHistory,F|Args)
%
%   Id is 1st to allow for direct comparisons (sort) and avoids
%   unifiability if the Id is nonvar.
%   F is the constraint functor
