/** <module> Describe Prolog Terms

The   library(explain)   describes   prolog-terms.   The   most   useful
functionality is its cross-referencing function.

==
?- explain(subset(_,_)).
"subset(_, _)" is a compound term
        Referenced from 2-th clause of lists:subset/2
        Referenced from 46-th clause of prolog_xref:imported/3
        Referenced from 68-th clause of prolog_xref:imported/3
lists:subset/2 is a predicate defined in
        /staff/jan/lib/pl-5.6.17/library/lists.pl:307
        Referenced from 2-th clause of lists:subset/2
        Possibly referenced from 2-th clause of lists:subset/2
==

Note  that  the  help-tool  for   XPCE    provides   a   nice  graphical
cross-referencer.
