Turns out that some kinds of models (notably stuff exported from mgPipe of cobratoolbox) require using the extra block of constraints, which was the coupling in COBREXA 1. There is no good representation of this thing in the usual stoichiometry without introducing extra variables, so we should have a direct representation.
(Thanks to @HDF94 and @erica5 for reporting.)
@stelmo I guess coupling is not a good name anymore, what about additional_constraints or so?
