  45/** <module> Manage operators
  46
  47Often, one wants to define operators to  improve the readibility of some
  48very specific code. Operators in Prolog  are global objects and changing
  49operators changes syntax and possible semantics of existing sources. For
  50this reason it is desirable  to   reset  operator declarations after the
  51code that needs them has been read.   This module defines a rather cruel
  52-but portable- method to do this.
  53
  54Usage:
  55
  56==
  57:- push_operators(
  58        [ op(900, fx, hello_world)
  59        , op(600, xf, *)
  60        ]).
  61
  62hello_world World :-
  63        ....
  64
  65:- pop_operators.
  66==
  67
  68While the above are for  source-code,   the  calls  push_operators/2 and
  69pop_operators/1 can be used  for  local   processing  where  it  is more
  70comfortable to carry the undo context around.
  71
  72NOTE: In recent versions of SWI-Prolog operators   are local to a module
  73and can be exported using the syntax   below.  This is not portable, but
  74otherwise a more structured approach for operator handling.
  75
  76==
  77:- module(mymodule,
  78          [ mypred/1,
  79            op(500, fx, myop)
  80          ]).
