/** <module> Intercept and signal interface

This library allows for  creating  an   execution  context  (goal) which
defines  how  calls  to  send_signal/1  are  handled.  This  library  is
typically used to fetch  values  from   the  context  or process results
depending on the context.

For example, assume we  parse  a  (large)   file  using  a  grammar (see
phrase_from_file/3) that has  some  sort   of  _record_  structure. What
should we do with the recognised records? We  can return them in a list,
but if the input is large this is a  huge overhead if the records are to
be asserted or written to a file.  Using this interface we can use

```
document -->
    record(Record),
    !,
    { send_signal(record(Record)) },
    document.
document -->
    [].
```

Given the above, we can assert all   records into the database using the
following query:

```
    ...,
    intercept(phrase_from_file(File, document),
              record(Record),
              assertz(Record)).
```

Or, we can collect all records in a list using intercept_all/4:

```
    ...,
    intercept_all(Record,
                  phrase_from_file(File, document), record(Record),
                  Records).
```

%!  intercept(:Goal, ?Ball, :Handler)
%
%   Run Goal as call/1.  If  somewhere   during  the  execution  of Goal
%   send_signal/1 is called with a _Signal_  that unifies with Ball, run
%   Handler and continue the execution.
%
%   This predicate is related to catch/3,   but rather than aborting the
%   execution of Goal and running Handler  it continues the execution of
%   Goal. This construct is also   related  to _delimited continuations_
%   (see reset/3 and shift/1). It only covers  one (common) use case for
%   delimited continuations, but does so with   a  simpler interface, at
%   lower overhead and without suffering from  poor interaction with the
%   cut.
%
%   Note that Ball and Handler are _copied_ before calling the (copy) of
%   Handler to avoid instantiation of Ball and/or Handler which can make
%   a subsequent signal fail.
%
%   @see intercept/4, reset/3, catch/4, broadcast_request/1.

intercept(Goal, Ball, Handler) :-
    do_intercept(Goal, Ball, Handler, args).

%!  intercept(:Goal, ?Ball, :Handler, +Arg)
%
%   Similar to intercept/3,  but  the  copy   of  Handler  is  called as
%   call(Copy,Arg), which allows passing  large   context  arguments  or
%   arguments subject to unification or   _destructive  assignment_. For
%   example:
%
%       ?- intercept(send_signal(x), X, Y=X).
%       true.
%
%       ?- intercept(send_signal(x), X, =(X), Y).

%!  intercept_all(+Template, :Goal, ?Ball, -List).
%
%   True when List contains all  instances   of  Template that have been
%   sent using send_signal/1 where the argument  unifies with Ball. Note
%   that backtracking in Goal resets the List.  For example, given
%
%   ```
%   enum(I, Max) :- I =< Max, !, send_signal(emit(I)),
%                   I2 is I+1, enum(I2, Max).
