"""

Conventions:

"constrain_x" means to constrain the variable with either
another kiwisolver variable, or a float.  i.e. `constrain_width(0.2)`
will set a constraint that the width has to be 0.2 and this constraint is
permanent - i.e. it will not be removed if it becomes obsolete.

"edit_x" means to set x to a value (just a float), and that this value can
change.  So `edit_width(0.2)` will set width to be 0.2, but `edit_width(0.3)`
will allow it to change to 0.3 later.  Note that these values are still just
"suggestions" in `kiwisolver` parlance, and could be over-ridden by
other constrains.
