% memberchk(+Element, +Set)
% means the same thing, but may only be used to test whether a known
% Element occurs in a known Set. In return for this limited use, it
% is more efficient when it is applicable.

% member(?Element, ?Set)

% to test for an element or to enumerate all the elements by backtracking.
% Indeed, it may be used to generate the Set!
