By the way, is there a reason behind the fact that “Constraint” uses the ordinary case, while “BOX” has all three letters capitalized? Wouldn’t it be more sensible if it were “Box” instead of “BOX”? Things like capitalization might not seem very important first, but unfortunately, decisions about them seem to persist.
