/** <module> Infer meta-predicate properties

This module infers meta-predicate properties   by inspecting the clauses
of predicates that call other predicates.   This is extremely useful for
program analysis and refactoring because  many   programs  `in the wild'
have incomplete or incorrect meta-predicate information.

@see    This library is used by prolog_walk_code/1 to improve the
        accuracy of this analysis.
@tbd    Re-introduce some alias-analysis
@tbd    Not all missing meta-declarations are interesting.  Notably,
        meta-predicates that are private and only pass meta-arguments
        on behalve of a public meta-predicates do not need a declaration.
