Ok, this depends on the notion of fairness.
PAKCS is unfair in the sense that some "strange" computation
(infinite loop or suspension) can inhibit the computation
of solutions in other branches. The same is true for
run-time errors like in the expression

  div 1 0 ? 0

where the result 0 is not printed.

How does MCC behave for this expression?
