public interface CanInheritContext<V extends Variable<V,T>,T extends Value<V,T>,C extends AssignmentContext>

An additional interface that can be implemented by the HasAssignmentContext class. The inherited assignment context holder (see InheritedAssignmentContextHolder) can than use this interface to inherit an assignment context from the parent assignment context. If a HasAssignmentContext class implements this interface, InheritedAssignment will use the inheritAssignmentContext(Assignment, AssignmentContext) method instead of the HasAssignmentContext.createAssignmentContext(Assignment) method to create a new context.
