/** <module> Manage operators

Often, one wants to define operators to  improve the readibility of some
very specific code. Operators in Prolog  are global objects and changing
operators changes syntax and possible semantics of existing sources. For
this reason it is desirable  to   reset  operator declarations after the
code that needs them has been read.   This module defines a rather cruel
-but portable- method to do this.

Usage:

==
:- push_operators(
        [ op(900, fx, hello_world)
        , op(600, xf, *)
        ]).

hello_world World :-
        ....

:- pop_operators.
==

While the above are for  source-code,   the  calls  push_operators/2 and
pop_operators/1 can be used  for  local   processing  where  it  is more
comfortable to carry the undo context around.

NOTE: In recent versions of SWI-Prolog operators   are local to a module
and can be exported using the syntax   below.  This is not portable, but
otherwise a more structured approach for operator handling.

==
:- module(mymodule,
          [ mypred/1,
            op(500, fx, myop)
          ]).
==
