// It is used in a clause minimization algorithm when we try to detect if any of
// the clause literals can be propagated by a subset of the other literal being
// false. For that, we want to enqueue in the solver all the subset of size n-1.
//
// This moves one of the unprocessed literal from literals to the last position.
// The function tries to do that while preserving the longest possible prefix of
// literals "amortized" through the calls assuming that we want to move each
// literal to the last position once.
//
// For a vector of size n, if we want to call this n times so that each literal
// is last at least once, the sum of the size of the changed suffixes will be
// O(n log n). If we were to use a simpler algorithm (like moving the last
// unprocessed literal to the last position), this sum would be O(n^2).
//
// Returns the size of the common prefix of literals before and after the move,
// or -1 if all the literals are already processed. The argument

// size do not matter. The returned value will always be lower or equal to
