    - #### getAssignmentContext

          public <U extends AssignmentContext> U getAssignmentContext(Assignment<V,T> assignment,
                                                                      AssignmentContextReference<V,T,U> reference)

      Description copied from interface: `AssignmentContextHolder`
      Return assignment context for the given assignment and reference. A new assignment context is created when there is not assignment context associated with the given reference yet.
      Specified by:
        `getAssignmentContext` in interface `AssignmentContextHolder<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Overrides:
        `getAssignmentContext` in class `AssignmentContextHolderMap<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Type Parameters:
        `U` - assignment context type
      Parameters:
        `assignment` - current assignment (there is only one assignment associated with one holder, but the assignment is passed so that `HasAssignmentContext.createAssignmentContext(Assignment)` can be called if needed
        `reference` - a reference created by calling `Model.createReference(HasAssignmentContext)`
      Returns:
        an assignment context

    - #### clearContext

          public <C extends AssignmentContext> void clearContext(AssignmentContextReference<V,T,C> reference)

      Description copied from interface: `AssignmentContextHolder`
      Clear an assignment context that is associated with the given a reference. If there is any created for the reference.
      Specified by:
        `clearContext` in interface `AssignmentContextHolder<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Overrides:
        `clearContext` in class `AssignmentContextHolderMap<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>>`
      Type Parameters:
        `C` - assignment context type
      Parameters:
        `reference` - a reference (which can be stored within the model, e.g., as an instance variable of a constraint)
