/** <module> Fast reading and writing of terms
This library provides the SICStus and Ciao library(fastrw) interface.
The idea behind this library is to design a fast serialization for
Prolog terms. Ideally, this should be portable between Prolog
implementation. The current implementation provides the API simply using
canonical read/write.
Note that the stream encoding must be the same. Typically, you would
like to use these predicate using UTF-8 encoded streams. See
set_stream/2.
@tbd Establish a fast and portable binary format.
@compat The format is not compatible to SICStus/Ciao (which are not
compatible either). Funture versions of this library might
implement a different encoding.
@see PL_record_external() for a C-based fast binary format.
