\DOC prefixes

\TYPE {prefixes : unit -> string list}

\SYNOPSIS
Certain identifiers {c} have prefix status, meaning that combinations of the 
form {c f x} will be parsed as {c (f x)} rather than the usual {(c f) x}. The 
call {prefixes()} returns the list of all such identifiers.

\FAILURE
Never fails.

\EXAMPLE
In the default HOL state:
{
  # prefixes();;
  val it : string list = ["~"; "--"; "mod"]
}
This explains, for example, why `{~ ~ p}' parses as `{~(~p)}' rather than 
parsing as `{(~ ~) p}' and generating a typechecking error.

\SEEALSO
is_prefix, parse_as_prefix, unparse_as_prefix.
