/** <module> Analyse format specifications

This library parses the format specification  used by format/1, format/2
and format/3. The parsed  specification  can   be  used  to validate the
consistency of the  format  string  and   the  provided  arguments.  For
example:

  ==
  ?- format_types('~d bottles of beer', Types).
  Types = [integer].
  ==

@tbd    The current implementation does not support format_predicate/2.

%%  format_spec(+Format, -Spec:list) is semidet.
%
%   Parse a format string. Each element of Spec is one of the following:
%
%    * text(Text)
%    Text sent to the output as is
%    * escape(Num,Colon,Action)
%    A format escape. Num represents the optional numeric portion of
%    an esape. Colon represents the optional colon in an escape.
%    Action is an atom representing the action to be take by this
%    escape.

%
%   True when Format requires an argument list   with  terms of the type
