also generate errors. Pre-processing for grammar rules is also
disabled. Module expansion is still performed.
Arguably, ISO Prolog does not provide all the functionality required
from a modern Prolog system. Moreover, because most Prolog
implementations do not fully implement the standard and because the
standard itself gives the implementor latitude in a few important
questions, such as the unification algorithm and maximum size for
numbers there is no guarantee that programs compliant with this mode
