Description
Dear,
I am using the Choco-solver through Minizinc and noticed the lack of support for (half) reified global constraints in the flatzinc output.
For example, when compiling the following model for Choco v4.10.14, the `alldifferent` constraint gets decomposed.
```minizinc
include "globals.mzn";
int: N = 3;
array[1..N] of var 1..10 : x;
var bool: bv;
constraint bv -> alldifferent(x);
```
While (as far as I understand) the Java interface allows this constraint to be written as:
```java
model.IfThen(bv,model.allDifferent(vars))
```
It seems Minizinc does have support for keeping these reified global constraints (e.g., for Chuffed, the flatzinc output contains the compiled constraint `fzn_all_different_int_imp`.
Are there any plans on adding the reified versions of global constraints to the Minizinc parser?
Kind regards,
Ignace
