Treat contiguous statements as belonging to the same subproblem by default (resolves #2) #16

Resolves #2 by changing the default subproblem-building strategy.

The result is that users can be 'more unthinking' and still get good inference, but that they may need to add subproblem hints (including to latent classes) to get acceptable performance. (I had to add hints in a couple places to recover the performance from before this change.)
