/**
   @groupdef  term_t_slots

Also known as term handles, slots are offsets to entries in the local stack. YAP never compresses the local stack, so slots are respected by the garbage collector,
hence providing a way to access terms without being exposed to stack shifts or garbage-collection.

 Space is released when the function terminates. Thus, slots will be automatically released at the end
of a function. Hence, slots should always be used as local variables.

Slots are organized as follows:
---- Offset of next pointer in chain (tagged as an handle_t)
---- Number of entries (tagged as handle_t), in the example TAG(INT,4)
Entry 
Entry 
Entry 
Entry 
---- Number of entries (tagged as handle_t), in the example TAG(INT,4)

Slots are not known to the yaam. Instead, A new set of slots is created when the emulator calls user C-code.
(see YAP_Execute* functions). They are also created:

   - by SWI's PL_foreign_frame() function,

   - by the YAP_RunGoal() routines and friends, when they exit successfully. Notice that all handles created by c-goals  within
     a `Goal` execution should not be used afterwards.

     This section lists the main internal functions for slot management. These functions are then exported through corresponding FLI C-functions
