//! Asymmetric Branching (AB) - Advanced clause strengthening
//!
//! Asymmetric Branching is a powerful technique for strengthening clauses by
//! removing redundant literals. It works by temporarily assigning literals
//! and checking if unit propagation leads to a conflict.
//!
//! For a clause C = (l1 ∨ l2 ∨ ... ∨ ln), we check if assigning ~l1 = true
//! and propagating leads to deriving the clause (l2 ∨ ... ∨ ln). If so, l1
//! is redundant and can be removed.
//!
//! This is more powerful than traditional clause minimization as it uses
//! the full constraint graph, not just the implication graph.
