/*
 * 
 * This file works together with pl/arrays.yap and arrays.h.
 * 
 * YAP now supports a very simple notion of arrays. Arrays may be
 * allocated dynamically or statically:
 * 
 * o anonymous arrays are created during execution and allocated
 * in the heap. They have the lifetime of any other other heap
 * object. Any term can be an argument to a dynamic array.
 * 
 * Dynamic arrays are named as a free variable and are
 * initialised with free variables. 
 * 
 * o named arrays are created during execution but allocated
 * in the code space. They have the lifetime of an heap
 * object. Any term can be an argument to a dynamic array.
 * 
 * Named arrays are named with atoms and are initialised with
 * free variables.
 * 
 * o static arrays are allocated in the heap. Their space is
 * never recovered unless explictly said so by the
 * program. Arguments to these arrays must have fixed size,
 * and can only be atomic (at least for now).
 * 
 * Static arrays can be named through an  atom. They are
 * initialised with [].
 * 
 * Users create arrays by a declaration X array Arity. If X is an atom
 * A, then this it is a static array and A's the array name, otherwise
 * X refers to a dynamic array.
 * 
 * As in C, arrays start counting from 0.
 * 
 * Users access arrays by a token X[I] or a[I], this token can appear
 * anywhere within the computation, so a[2] = X[3*4] means that the
 * second element of global array a should unify with the 12th element
 * of array X. The mechanism used to implement this is the same
 * mechanism used to implement suspension variables.
 * 
 * Representation:
 * 
 * Dynamic Arrays are represented as a compound term of arity N, where
 * N is the size of the array. Even so, I will not include array bound
 * checking for now.
 * 
 * |--------------------------------------------------------------|
 * | $ARRAY/N|....
 * |______________________________________________________________
 * 
 * 
 * Unbound Var is used as a place to point to.
 * 
 * Static Arrays are represented as a special property for an atom,
 * with field size and 
 * 
 * A term of the form X[I] is represented as a Reference pointing to
 * the compound term:
 * 
 * '$array_arg'(X,I)
 * 
 * Dereferecing will automatically find X[I].
 * 
 * The only exception is the compiler, which uses a different
 * dereferencing routine. The clause cl(a[2], Y[X], Y) will be
 * compiled as:
 * 
 * cl(A, B, Y) :- '$access_array'(a, A, 2), '$access_array'(Y, B, X).
 * 
 * There are three operations to access arrays:
 * 
 * X[I] = A, This is normal unification.
 * 
 * X[I] := A, This is multiassignment, and therefore
 * backtrackable.
 * 
 * X[I] ::= A, This is non-backtrackable multiassignment, ans most
 * useful for static arrays.
 * 
 * The LHS of := and of ::= must be an array element!
