Notes: ∗ Personal communication confirms that the artifact has been observed in this model.

a

Possible, but not used or documented in model applications so far.

b

Used in model applications, but not published yet.

c

Applicable according to personal communication, but insufficient information for linking specific model applications to this particular constraint available.
