:mrdocs:

Put the specified `constraint` on the value of the described option, replacing any constraint that had been in effect (if any). The behavior is undefined unless the described option is not a flag and the `balcl::OptionValue` type of the described option corresponds to the type of `constraint`. Note that two distinct objects that have the same `constraint` put on them will compare _unequal_ unless the constraint is shared among them, which can be done by: ` aTypeInfo.setConstraint(anotherTypeInfo.constraint()); `
