YAP now supports the attributed variables packaged developed at OFAI by
Christian Holzbaur. Attributes are a means of declaring that an
arbitrary term is a property for a variable. These properties can be
update during forward execution. Moreover, the unification algorithm is
updated during forward execution. Moreover, the unification algorithm is
aware of attributed variables and will call user defined handlers when
trying to unify these variables.
Attributed variables provide an elegant abstraction over which one can
extend Prolog systems. Their main application so far has been in

Although the YAP module system is predicate based, attributes are local
