/** <module> Conditional coroutining

This library implements the when/2 constraint, delaying a goal until its
arguments are sufficiently instantiated.  For   example,  the  following
delayes the execution of =:=/2 until the expression is instantiated.

    ==
        ...
        when(ground(Expr), 0 =:= Expr),

%!  when(+Condition, :Goal)
%
%   Execute Goal when Condition is satisfied. I.e., Goal is executed
%   as by call/1  if  Condition  is   true  when  when/2  is called.
%   Otherwise  Goal  is  _delayed_  until  Condition  becomes  true.
%   Condition is one of the following:
%
%       * nonvar(X)
%       * ground(X)
%       * ?=(X,Y)
%       * (Cond1,Cond2)
%       * (Cond2;Cond2)
%
%   For example (note the order =a= and =b= are written):
%
%       ==
%       ?- when(nonvar(X), writeln(a)), writeln(b), X = x.
%       b
%       a
%       X = x
%       ==

    trigger_first(Optimised, Goal).

%!  '$eval_when_condition'(+Condition, -Optimised)
%
%   C-building block defined in pl-attvar.c.   It  pre-processes the
%   when-condition, checks it  for   errors  (instantiation  errors,
%   domain-errors and cyclic terms) and   simplifies it. Notably, it
%   removes already satisfied conditions   from  Condition, unifying
%   Optimised to =true= if  there  is   no  need  to suspend. Nested
%   disjunctions are reported as or(List).

%!  trigger_ground(@Term, :Goal)
%
%   Trigger Goal when Term becomes   ground.  The current implementation
%   uses nonground/2, waiting for an   atribtrary  variable and re-check
%   Term  when  this  variable   is    bound.   Previous   version  used
%   term_variables and suspended  on  a   term  constructed  from  these
%   variables. It is clear  that  either   approach  performs  better on
%   certain types of terms. The term_variables/2  based approach wins on
%   large terms that are almost  ground.   Possibly  we need a nonground
%   that also returns the number of tests   performed  and switch to the
%   term_variables/2 based approach if this becomes large.

%!  check_disj(DisjVar, Disj, Goal)
%
%   If there is a disjunctive condition, we share a variable between
