 write_list(+List) is det
Writes a list to current output one element in each line.
   51write_list1(List) :-
   52	must_be(list, List),
   53	maplist(writeln, List).
 prettyvars(?Term)
Similar to numbervars(Term,0,_), except that singleton variables in Term are unified with '$VAR'('_'), so that when the resulting term is output with a write option numbervars(true), in the place of singleton variables _ is written. This predicate is used by portray_clause/2.
   63prettyvars(Term) :-
   64	numbervars(Term, 0, _, [singleton(true)]).
 printable_char(+Char) is semidet
Char is the code of a character which can be printed. Not really sure what this means. Mapped to code_type/2 using type graph.
   71printable_char(Char) :-
   72	code_type(Char, graph)
