9900762747 use newly available seq//1 from library(dcgs)
I am using seq(Ls) instead of plain Ls so that DCGs can be debugged
declaratively, by generalizing away nonterminals in rules.

9e13f18463 ENHANCED: Domain error non_empty_list for empty arguments, addressing #1024.
Example:

    ?- format("~d", []).
    %@ caught: error(domain_error(non_empty_list,[]),format_//2)

9d3f3eb013 ENHANCED: format_string domain error for invalid radix in format string
This addresses #1024.

Example:

    ?- format("hello ~0r!", [12]).
    %@ caught: error(domain_error(format_string,"~0r"),format_//2)

78c2f19e72 ENHANCED: If N is omitted in ~Nr or ~NR, it defaults to 8.
This is for compatibility with Quintus, SICStus and GNU Prolog,
addressing #1024.

Example:

    ?- format("~r", [10]).
    %@ 12   true.

    h :-
       (  a
       ;  b
       ;  c
       ).

       (  a ->
          b
       ;  c ->
          d

1bdfc5a1a4 ~| now incorporates the number of characters described so far
Therefore, subsequent uses of ~N| now yield the specified column,
instead of potentially overshooting.

Example:

    ?- format("hello~|~t~8|!", []).
    hello   !   true.

Such cases are probably rather uncommon: Relative positioning with ~N+
is more likely to be used in such cases, and that worked as intended
also previously as it does now:

    ?- format("hello~|~t~3+!", []).
    hello   !   true.

In fact, if absolute positions are used, then ~| can be omitted entirely:

    ?- format("hello~t~8|!", []).
    hello   !   true.

27a52ef56a reflect improved determinism thanks to the improvements by @notoria 2020-12-23 00:05:29 +01:00

4efbc20a4f ENHANCED: format_//2, format/[2,3], portray_clause/1 are now deterministic.
This works as soon as #732 is merged, since then maplist/N and foldl/N
are deterministic in the required cases.

This also resolves the extra choicepoint of time/1 (see #378).

Many thanks to @notoria for implementing better indexing in #732,
which allowed me to find this opportunity for improvement!

5f3ab823fd FIXED: format_//2: Keep different variables distinct.
Example:

        ?- phrase(format_("~w~w", [_,_]), Ls).
        %@    Ls = "AB"
        %@ ;  false.

dcc4b91b35 ENHANCED: flush output for impure I/O (format/[2,3], portray_clause/1 etc.)
Without this, we do not get a (timely) prompt in cases like:

    ?- format("press a key: ", []), get_single_char(C).

whereas for example write/1 already works in such cases:

    ?- write('press a key: '), get_single_char(C).
    press a key:

8958ea036e ENHANCED: much faster format/3 for text streams
This is now also used by format/2 to emit output on the terminal,
and significantly speeds up toplevel output of long strings.

Markus Triska
409d3c168d ENHANCED: faster format/3 when writing to binary streams
This is also more secure, since it does not change the atom table
and therefore leaves little trace of what was processed.
