model.intvars with shape ?

[cprudhom]

Could this API be useful?

ws = model.intvars((5,6), -1, 1, name="ws")

instead of:

ws = [ model.intvars(6, -1, 1, name="ws_"+str(i)) for i in range(5) ]

I guess that the most convenient, and the most consistent with Choco would be creating a model.intvar_matrix method, what do you think ?

[cprudhom]

I think that the shape version is more pythonic and probably that, if Java allowed this type of declaration we would have adopted it.
That would also reduce the API which is good I think.
