    Description

      "it immediately adds 10 % average calculate count to my solver, without any score corruption."

      Here's why I didn't turn it on at the time immediately:
      We can't turn constraintMatchEnabled to false all the time,
      because without it, there's no justification, which is needed in 2 cases:

      • In OptaPlanner Examples GUI, when you click "constraint match" on the bottom right,
        it needs to explain what is violating which constraints.
        That uses Solver.getScoreDirectorFactory() and needs justification for that ScoreDirector.
      • Guided Local Search (= a well established LS variant), Tainted Search (= my unimplemented invention)
        need justification too. For example: focus on moving the queen that breaks most constraints.

      I am thinking that constraintMatchEnabled is true by default, but for solver with no phases that require justification,
      it can be turned off.
