Concerning library(portray_text) which is in limbo:

 > Libraries are (often) written for either
and thus the libraries make the choice.

But who writes these libraries? The SWI Prolog
community. And who doesn’t improve these libraries,
instead floods the web with workaround tips?
The SWI Prolog community.

Conclusion the SWI-Prolog community has itself
trapped in an ancient status quo, creating an island.
Cannot improve its own tooling, is not willing
to support code from else where that uses chars.

Same with the missed AI Boom.

(*) Code from elsewhere is dangerous, People
might use other Prolog systems than only SWI-Prolog,
like for exampe Trealla Prolog and Scryer Prolog.

(**) Keeping the status quo is comfy. No need to
think in terms of programm code. Its like biology
teachers versus pathology staff, biology teachers
do not everyday see opened corpses.
