/** <module> Aggregation operators on backtrackable predicates
@ingroup SWILibrary

This library provides aggregating operators  over   the  solutions  of a
predicate. The operations are a generalisation   of the bagof/3, setof/3
and findall/3 built-in predicates. The   defined  aggregation operations
are counting, computing the sum, minimum,   maximum,  a bag of solutions
and a set of solutions. We first   give  a simple example, computing the
country with the smallest area:

==
average_country_area(Name, Area) :-
	aggregate(min(A, N), country(N, A), min(Area, Name)).
==

There are four aggregation predicates, distinguished on two properties.

    $ aggregate vs. aggregate_all :
    The aggregate predicates use setof/3 (aggregate/4) or bagof/3
    (aggregate/3), dealing with existential qualified variables
    (Var^Goal) and providing multiple solutions for the remaining free
    variables in Goal. The aggregate_all/3 predicate uses findall/3,
    implicitely qualifying all free variables and providing exactly one
    solution, while aggregate_all/4 uses sort/2 over solutions and
    Distinguish (see below) generated using findall/3.

    $ The Distinguish argument :
    The versions with 4 arguments provide a Distinguish argument that
    allow for keeping duplicate bindings of a variable in the result.
    For example, if we wish to compute the total population of all
    countries we do not want to loose results because two countries
    have the same population.  Therefore we use:
    
    ==
	aggregate(sum(P), Name, country(Name, P), Total)
    ==

All aggregation predicates support the following operator below in
Template. In addition, they allow for an arbitrary named compound term
where each of the arguments is a term from the list below. I.e. the term
r(min(X), max(X)) computes both the minimum and maximum binding for X.

	* count
	Count number of solutions.  Same as sum(1).
	* sum(Expr)
	Sum of Expr for all solutions.
	* min(Expr)
	Minimum of Expr for all solutions.
	* min(Expr, Witness)
	A term min(Min, Witness), where Min is the minimal version
	of Expr over all Solution and Witness is any other template
	the applied to the solution that produced Min.  If multiple
	solutions provide the same minimum, Witness corresponds to
	the first solution.
	* max(Expr)
	Maximum of Expr for all solutions.
	* max(Expr, Witness)
	As min(Expr, Witness), but producing the maximum result.
	* set(X)
	An ordered set with all solutions for X.
	* bag(X)
	A list of all solutions for X.

@compat Quintus, SICStus 4. The forall/2 is a SWI-Prolog built-in and
	term_variables/3 is a SWI-Prolog with a *|different definition|*.
@tbd	Analysing the aggregation template and compiling a predicate
	for the list aggregation can be done at compile time.
@tbd	aggregate_all/3 can be rewritten to run in constant space using
	non-backtrackable assignment on a term.
