Pack: refactor

Great stuff! I managed to rewrite Ciao lpdoc documentation into PlDoc quite easily. It would be great to have some more documentation though!

Had to manually install the assertions pack.

Pack: sparkle

Really nice way to run SPARQL queries. With support for concurrency and auto paging this can be used for large scale federated processing of RDF. Fits great with ClioPatria's SWISH plugin. Two small points:

  • I wonder about the high-priority ?? operator. Possibly it is ok because we have module-specific operators ...
  • Is it necessary to have an explicit filter(Filter) term?

Pack: thousands

Note that the 6.3 development versions allow for large integers using digit groups. These groups are separated by a single space or a an underscore followed by arbitrary white space. For example

:- set_prolog_stack(global, limit(10 000 000 000)).

This practically makes this pack redundant for SWI-Prolog. It is still a useful work around for older versions and other Prolog systems.
