The predicate current_predicate/2 is   a  difficult subject since  the
introduction  of defaulting     modules   and   dynamic     libraries.
current_predicate/2 is normally  called with instantiated arguments to
verify some  predicate can   be called without trapping   an undefined
predicate.  In this case we must  perform the search algorithm used by
the prolog system itself.

If the pattern is not fully specified, we only generate the predicates
actually available in this  module.   This seems the best for listing,
etc.
