/** <module> List Manipulation

This library provides  commonly  accepted   basic  predicates  for  list
manipulation in the Prolog community. Some additional list manipulations
are built-in. See e.g., memberchk/2, length/2.

The implementation of this library  is   copied  from many places. These
include: "The Craft of Prolog", the   DEC-10  Prolog library (LISTRO.PL)
and the YAP lists library. Some   predicates  are reimplemented based on
their specification by Quintus and SICStus.

@compat	Virtually every Prolog system has library(lists), but the set
	of provided predicates is diverse.  There is a fair agreement
	on the semantics of most of these predicates, although error
	handling may vary.

%%	member(?Elem, ?List)
%
%	True if Elem is a  member   of  List.  The SWI-Prolog definition
%	differs from the classical one.  Our definition avoids unpacking
%	each list element twice and  provides   determinism  on the last
%	element.  E.g. this is deterministic:

%		member(X, [One]).
