Comment (by Feuerbach):

 Ah, right! I've used this trick in the past many times, but every now and
 then I get lured by the nice-looking constraint synonyms, and forget about
 the alternative.

 So, it looks like the semantics is not a problem. Perhaps it'd be possible
 to introduce a better syntax for it?
