%% run_query_goal(+QueryGoal, +VarNames, +Callback_1, +Options)
%
% Run a query from a goal, calling `Callback_1 on each leaf answer.
% `VarNames` needs to have the same format as the one from the `variable_names(-VarNames)`
% option in `read_term/3`. That is, a list of terms of the form `Name=Var`, where `Name`
% is an atom and `Var` is a variable. The possible arguments to `Callback_1` are:
%
% - `final(false)`
% - `final(exception(Exception))`, where `Exception` is the exception thrown
% - `final(true)`
% - `final(leaf_answer(Bindings, ResidualGoals, VarNames))`, where:
%
% - `Bindings` is a list of terms of the form `Var=Term`, where `Var` is a
% variable.
% - `ResidualGoals` is a list of the residual goals from the query.
% - `VarNames` is a list of `Name=Var` terms where `Name` is an atom and `Var` is a
% variable.
% - `pending(true)`
% - `pending(leaf_answer(Bindings, ResidualGoals, VarNames)`, see `final(leaf_answer(_,_,_))`
% above.
%
% The variants with principal functor `final/1` mean that there will be no more leaf answers,
% and the ones with `pending/1` mean that there will be more leaf answers.
%
% `Option` is a list of options. There are none currently, but in the future support for
% inference limits and timeouts may be implemented.
