Prolog Pearls II: Barklund and Millroth (Was: PIPs from the Basilisk Chamber)

Hi,
Okay, there is another one. Now we are getting
closer to change_arg/3, the physical representation
of what was omitted in the previous paper
now becomes a face. But its not really change_arg/3.
What they try here is still multi versioned,
so its more a change_arg/4. Maybe SWI-Prolog has
something like this somewhere? I had setarg/4
in formerly Jekejeke Prolog:
Integrating Complex Data Structures in Prolog
A number of data structures, primitive operations on
them (which could not have been efficiently coded in
Prolog) and various ways of integrating them in
Edinburgh Prolog without destroying its
uniformity are proposed.

Hi,
 Interestingly in the old times, Prolog dicts that
are functional datastructures were called
multiple version hash tables (MVIIT):
 Hash Tables in Logic Programming
The paper gives informal semantics for hash tables
as partial functions on logical terms for Prolog's
Horn clause language, and the implementation has been
used in Tricia, an implementation of Prolog
developed at Uppsala University.

Nobody has seen these PIPs elsewhere so far.
