   *    is used as it is cheaper).
   *  - Variables occurring multiply in the argument arrays are replaced
   *    by a single occurrence: for example, \f$ax+bx\f$ becomes
   *    \f$(a+b)x\f$.
   *  - If in the above simplification the value for \f$(a+b)\f$ (or for

   * presented in <em>"A new multi-resource cumulatives constraint
   * with negative heights"</em>, Nicolas Beldiceanu and Mats
   * Carlsson, Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming 2002.
   *
   * The constraint models a set of machines and a set of tasks that
   * should be assigned to the machines. The machines have a positive
   * resource limit and the tasks each have a resource usage that can
   * be either positive, negative, or zero. The constraint is enforced
   * over each point in time for a machine where there is at least one
   * task assigned.
   *
   * The propagator does not enforce \f$s_i+p_i=e_i\f$, this constraint
   * has to be posted in addition to ensure consistency of the task bounds.
   *
   * The limit for a machine is either the maximum amount available at
   * any given time (\a at_most = true), or else the least amount to
   * be used (\a at_most = false).
   *
   * \param home current space
   * \param m \f$ m_i \f$ is the machine assigned to task \f$ i \f$
   * \param s \f$ s_i \f$ is the start time assigned to task \f$ i \f$
   * \param p \f$ p_i \f$ is the processing time of task \f$ i \f$
   * \param e \f$ e_i \f$ is the end time assigned to task \f$ i \f$
   * \param u \f$ u_i \f$ is the amount of
   *               resources consumed by task \f$ i \f$
   * \param c \f$ c_r \f$ is the capacity, the amount of resource available
   *              for machine \f$ r \f$
   * \param at_most \a at_most tells if the amount of resources used
   *                for a machine should be less than the limit (\a at_most
   *                = true) or greater than the limit (\a at_most = false)
   * \param icl Supports value-consistency only (\a icl = ICL_VAL, default).
