/* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This module defines the Prolog parser.  Reading a term takes two passes:

	* Reading the term into memory, deleting multiple blanks, comments
	  etc.
	* Parsing this string into a Prolog term.

The separation has two reasons: we can call the  first  part  separately
and  insert  the  read  strings in the history and we can produce better
error messages as the parsed part of the source is available.

The raw reading pass is quite tricky as PCE requires  us  to  allow  for
callbacks  from  C  during  this  process  and the callback might invoke
another read.  Notable raw reading needs to be studied studied once more
as it  takes  about  30%  of  the  entire  compilation  time  and  looks
promissing  for  optimisations.   It  also  could  be  made  a  bit more
readable.

These functions manipulate the  variable-name  base   for  a  term. When
building the term on the global stack,  variables are represented a term
with tagex() TAG_VAR|STG_RESERVED, which is handled properly by GC.

The buffer `var_buffer' is a  list  of   pointers  to  a  stock of these
variable structures. This list is dynamically expanded if necessary. The
buffer var_name_buffer contains the  actual   strings.  They  are packed
together to avoid memory fragmentation. This   buffer too is reallocated
if necessary. In this  case,  the   pointers  of  the  existing variable
structures are relocated.

Note that the variables are kept  in   a  simple  array. This means that
reading terms with many named variables   result in quadratic behaviour.
Not sure whether it is worth the trouble to use a hash-table here.

/* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
complex_term() handles operator resolution. This is based on an old book
on compiler design of which I've forgotten the name. The idea is to have
two queues, the _side_ queue and the _out_ queue. The number of elements
pushed there is in `side_n` and  `out_n`.   As  the  side queue may hold
stuff from outer parse steps  we  have   `side_p`  pointing  at its top.
`side_p` is `side_n` - 1 -  |elems-at-start| and `SideOp(side_p)` is the
top-most operator pushed at the side queue.

Now the core idea is that we  push   operators  that we encounter to the
_side_ queue and have  operands  on  the   _out_  queue.  At  times,  we
_reduce_, which means we combine the top operator on the side queue with
the top element(s) on the out queue as   long as the side queue operator
has lower priority than the  reduce   context.  The  resulting terms are
pushed on the out stack.

Prolog  cannot  have  two  consequetive  operands.  This  constraint  it
maintained in `rmo`, (Ope)rands-more-then-operators.  This cannot become
more than 1 and thus, if we get into a situation where this threatens to
become two, we try to interpret the next   token as an operator, even if
it is a T_FUNCTOR token  (e.g.,  `name(`).   See  the  first argument of
get_token().

`rmo` can also not become below zero,  so   if  this threatens we try to
consider  the  last  operator  on  the  side   queue  as  an  atom.  See
modify_op().

read_list(-positions)  reads  a  list  and  places    the  list  on  the

out of simple_term() would reduce the  stack-usage of simple_term() when
not reading a list, but  this   assumption  appears wrong: when inlined,
simple_term() uses less stack. Why is that?  Nevertheless, this is a lot
more readable and makes selecting between inlining and not trivial.
