Detailed Description

Goal is a collection of constraints we want to find a solution or show to be unsatisfiable (infeasible).

Goals are processed using Tactics. A Tactic transforms a goal into a set of subgoals.
A goal has a solution if one of its subgoals has a solution.
A goal is unsatisfiable if all subgoals are unsatisfiable.
