   52/** <module> Option list processing
   53
   54The library(option) provides some utilities for processing option lists.
   55Option lists are commonly used  as   an  alternative for many arguments.
   56Examples of built-in predicates are open/4  and write_term/3. Naming the
   57arguments results in more readable code, and   the  list nature makes it
   58easy to extend the list of options accepted by a predicate. Option lists
   59come in two styles, both of which are handled by this library.
   60
   61        $ Name(Value) :
   62        This is the preferred style.
   63
   64        $ Name = Value :
   65        This is often used, but deprecated.
   66
   67Processing options inside time-critical code   (loops) can cause serious
   68overhead. One possibility is to define   a  record using library(record)
   69and initialise this using make_<record>/2. In addition to providing good
   70performance, this also provides type-checking and central declaration of
   71defaults.
   72
   73  ==
   74  :- record atts(width:integer=100, shape:oneof([box,circle])=box).
   75
   76  process(Data, Options) :-
   77          make_atts(Options, Attributes),
   78          action(Data, Attributes).
   79
   80  action(Data, Attributes) :-
   81          atts_shape(Attributes, Shape),
   82          ...
   83  ==
   84
   85Options typically have exactly one argument.   The  library does support
   86options  with  0  or  more  than    one   argument  with  the  following
   87restrictions:
   88
   89  - The predicate option/3 and select_option/4, involving default are
   90    meaningless. They perform an arg(1, Option, Default), causing
   91    failure without arguments and filling only the first option-argument
   92    otherwise.
   93  - meta_options/3 can only qualify options with exactly one argument.
   94
   95@tbd    We should consider putting many options in an assoc or record
   96        with appropriate preprocessing to achieve better performance.
   97@see    library(record)
   98@see    Option processing capabilities may be declared using the
   99        directive predicate_options/3.
