This library defines predicates that used to exist in older version of
SWI-Prolog, but are considered obsolete as there functionality is neatly
covered by new features. Most often, these constructs are superceeded by
ISO-standard compliant predicates.
Please also note the existence of library(quintus) and
library(edinburgh) for more compatibility predicates.
