    can be infinite). The case of lb == ub is allowed, this means the variable
    must take a single value. The case of lb > ub is also allowed, this implies
    that the problem is infeasible.

    A Variable is configured as follows:
      * lower_bound: a float property, lb above. Should not be NaN nor +inf.
      * upper_bound: a float property, ub above. Should not be NaN nor -inf.
      * integer: a bool property, if the domain is integer or continuous.

    The name is optional, read only, and used only for debugging. Non-empty names
    should be distinct.

    Every Variable is associated with a Model (defined below). Note that data
    describing the variable (e.g. lower_bound) is owned by Model.storage, this
    class is simply a reference to that data. Do not create a Variable directly,
    use Model.add_variable() instead.

    """A deferred sum of LinearBase objects.

    LinearSum objects are automatically created when two linear objects are added
    and, as noted in the documentation for Linear, can reduce the inefficiencies.
    In particular, they are created when calling sum(iterable) when iterable is
    an Iterable[LinearTypes]. However, using LinearSum(iterable) instead
    can result in additional performance improvements:

      * sum(iterable): creates a nested set of LinearSum objects (e.g.
        `sum([a, b, c])` is `LinearSum(0, LinearSum(a, LinearSum(b, c)))`).
      * LinearSum(iterable): creates a single LinearSum that saves a tuple with
        all the LinearTypes objects in iterable (e.g.
