     * the corresponding Branchers may already have no alternatives left.
     *
     * The same situation may arise due to weakly monotonic propagators.
     *
     * A brancher reporting that no more alternatives exist is exhausted.
     * All exhausted branchers will be left of the current pointer b_status.
