   42/** <module> Co-Logic Programming
   43
   44This simple module implements the   directive coinductive/1 as described
   45in "Co-Logic Programming: Extending Logic  Programming with Coinduction"
   46by Luke Simon et al. The idea behind coinduction is that a goal succeeds
   47if it unifies to a parent goal.  This enables some interesting programs,
   48notably on infinite trees (cyclic terms).
   49
   50    ==
   51    :- use_module(library(coinduction)).
   52
   53    :- coinductive p/1.
   54
   55    p([1|T]) :- p(T).
   56    ==
   57
   58This predicate is  true  for  any   cyclic  list  containing  only  1-s,
   59regardless of the cycle-length.
   60
   61@bug    Programs mixing normal predicates and coinductive predicates must
   62        be _stratified_.  The theory does not apply to normal Prolog calling
   63        coinductive predicates, calling normal Prolog predicates, etc.
   64
   65        Stratification is not checked or enforced in any other way and thus
   66        left as a responsibility to the user.
