Comment (by simonpj):
> I thus agree that the ability to print out incompatibilities is
sometimes helpful for users, not just implementors.
OK, thanks. Now I understand. I agree.
mnip: in the code, can you add a Note with an example of what the
incompatibility stuff looks like when printed out; and some version of
Richard's comments in comment:9 to explain why it might be useful for
users to see this information?
Also are the equations 0-indexed or 1-indexed? The Note, and the manual
entry about the flag, should say.
Also can you modify the manual section that Richard points to in comment:9
so that it mentions the existence of the flag to show compatibilities?
