/** Tabling, also called SLG resolution.
SLG resolution is an alternative execution strategy that sometimes
helps to improve termination and performance characters of Prolog
predicates.
To enable this execution strategy for a Prolog predicate, add a
`(table)/1` directive, using the prefix operator `table` that this
module defines. For example, to enable tabling for the predicate
`p/2`, use:
```
:- use_module(library(tabling)).
:- table p/2.
...
```
The possibility to apply different execution strategies is one of
the greatest attractions of pure Prolog code, and one of the
strongest arguments for keeping to the pure core of Prolog as far
as possible.
