%
% Run Goal on temporary loaded sources and discard the module and
% loaded predicates after completion. This predicate performs the
% following steps:
%
% 1. If Module is unbound, create a unique identifier for it.
% 2. Turn Module into a _temporary_ module using set_module/1.
% Note that this requires the module to be non-existent or
% empty. If Module is specified, it should typically be set
% to a unique value as obtained from e.g. uuid/1.
% 3. Run Setup in the context of Module.
% 4. If setup succeeded possible choice points are discarded
% and Goal is started.
%
% The logical result of this predicate is the same as
% `(Setup@Module -> Goal@Module)`, i.e., both Setup and Goal are
% resolved relative to the current module, but executed in the
% context of Module. If Goal must be called in Module, use
% `call(Goal)`.
%
% The module and all its predicates are destroyed after Goal
% terminates, as defined by setup_call_cleanup/3.
%
% *Discussion* This predicate is intended to load programs in an
% isolated environment and reclaim all resources. This
% unfortunately is incomplete:
%
% - Running the code may leave side effects such as creating
% records, flags, changing Prolog flags, etc. The system
% has no provisions to track this.
% - So called _functors_ (name/arity pairs) are not yet subject
% to garbage collection. Functors are both used to define
% predicates and to create compound terms.
%
% @see library(sandbox) determines whether unknown goals are safe
% to call.
% @see load_files/2 offers the option sandboxed(true) to load code
% from unknown sources safely.
