/**
 * The jpl.JPL class contains methods which allow (i) inspection and alteration
 * of the "default" initialisation arguments (ii) explicit initialisation
 * (iii) discovery of whether the Prolog engine is already initialised,
 * and if so, with what arguments.
 * The Prolog engine must be initialized 
 * before any queries are made, but this will happen automatically
 * (upon the first call to a Prolog FLI routine) if it has not already
 * been done explicitly.
