\brief "Queue" of constraints to be solved.
We implement it using a red-black-tree because:
1- Our red-black-trees support a O(1) copy operation. So, it is cheap to create a snapshot
whenever we create a backtracking point.
2- We can easily remove any constraint from the queue in O(n log n). We do that when
a metavariable \c m is assigned, and we want to instantiate it in all constraints that
contains it.
