Yeah, looking at the code a bit closer we would also want to fix
various places to take advantage of the index. Seems like it could be
a big win when you have thousands of constraints (albeit only in the
add/drop case).

If I find the time maybe Ill submit something along these lines for
the next commit fest.

Thanks!
