Scryer Prolog's mentality can be seen here:
?- op(600, fy, []).
error(permission_error(create,operator,[]),op/3).
What they cannot solve, they simply forbid.
This mentality was already seen when UWN started
fiddling with '|' operator definition, and made
some hilarious changes to ISO core standard,
and some hilarious claims for DCG. In Novacore '|'
is simply nowhere used and undefined, but can be
defined. For DCG the usual (;)/2 is used for disjunction,
no need to use '|' in DCG. Now we have the situation
that Ciao Prolog can easily do this:
/* Segerberg Models */
:- op( 600, fy, !). % universal quantifier: ![X]:
:- op( 600, fy, ?). % existential quantifier: ?[X]:
:- op( 600, fy, []). % necessity
:- op( 600, fy, <>). % possibility
?- X = ! [Y]:p(Y).
X = ![Y]:p(Y) ?
?- X = [] p.
X = []p ?
But Scryer Prolog can do neither of it. Scryer
Prolog stumbles on op( 600, fy, !), it will
suddently not anymore accept clauses such as:
p :- q, !, r.
Which is easy to fix with a small parsing heuristic,
doesn't need non-deterministic parsing or some such.
