    Inequality

      public static final class Inequality.Definition
      extends ConstraintDefinition<Inequality>

  Class representing a `<=`, `>=`, `==`, or ranged constraint. Instances of this class describe a constraint that has not yet been added but can be added using `XpressProblem.addConstraint()` or `XpressProblem.addConstraint()`. Users should usually not have to deal with this class explicitly.
