  52/** <module> Option list processing
  53
  54The library(option) provides some utilities for processing option lists.
  55Option lists are commonly used  as   an  alternative for many arguments.
  56Examples of built-in predicates are open/4  and write_term/3. Naming the
  57arguments results in more readable code, and   the  list nature makes it
  58easy to extend the list of options accepted by a predicate. Option lists
  59come in two styles, both of which are handled by this library.
  60
  61        $ Name(Value) :
  62        This is the preferred style.
  63
  64        $ Name = Value :
  65        This is often used, but deprecated.
  66
  67Processing options inside time-critical code   (loops) can cause serious
  68overhead. One possibility is to define   a  record using library(record)
  69and initialise this using make_<record>/2. In addition to providing good
  70performance, this also provides type-checking and central declaration of
  71defaults.
  72

  74  :- record atts(width:integer=100, shape:oneof([box,circle])=box).
  75
  76  process(Data, Options) :-
  77          make_atts(Options, Attributes),
  78          action(Data, Attributes).

  80  action(Data, Attributes) :-
  81          atts_shape(Attributes, Shape),
  82          ...
  83  ==
  84
  85Options typically have exactly one argument.   The  library does support
  86options  with  0  or  more  than    one   argument  with  the  following
  87restrictions:
  88
  89  - The predicate option/3 and select_option/4, involving default are
  90    meaningless. They perform an arg(1, Option, Default), causing
  91    failure without arguments and filling only the first option-argument
  92    otherwise.
  93  - meta_options/3 can only qualify options with exactly one argument.
  94
  95@tbd    We should consider putting many options in an assoc or record
  96        with appropriate preprocessing to achieve better performance.
  97@see    library(record)
  98@see    Option processing capabilities may be declared using the
  99        directive predicate_options/3.
