For the optional constraints, order matters, therefore it is necessary 
to use an array. Once we need an array, each constraint needs to be it's 
own object or we can't use keys.

I agree that it feels a little verbose but unfortunately, JS doesn't 
provide the primitives to achieve what we really want (dictionaries with 
ordered keys).
