This tries to use (> (+ somenumber form-car-value) 3) as a constrained
variable, but it is not valid as one.  In a constrained variable, the
first argument of the predicate function is supposed to be a pattern
to match.  It can't be an expression such as (+ somenumber
form-car-value).

Yesterday I rewrote the documentation of constrained variables and
sent that to the list.  Does that version make this clear?
