/** <module> Backward compatibility

This library defines predicates that used to exist in older version of
SWI-Prolog, but are considered obsolete as there functionality is neatly
covered by new features. Most often, these constructs are superceeded by
ISO-standard compliant predicates.

Please also note the existence of   quintus.pl and edinburgh.pl for more
compatibility predicates.

@see	gxref/0 can be used to find files that import from
	library(backcomp) and thus reply on deprecated features.
