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