/** <module> Operations on key-value lists

This module implements common operations on  Key-Value lists, also known
as  _Pairs_.  Pairs  have  great  practical  value,  especially  due  to
keysort/2 and the library assoc.pl.

This library is based  on  disussion   in  the  SWI-Prolog  mailinglist,
including specifications from Quintus and a  library proposal by Richard
O'Keefe.

%!  pairs_keys_values(?Pairs, ?Keys, ?Values) is det.
%
%   True if Keys holds the keys of Pairs and Values the values.
%
%   Deterministic if any argument is instantiated   to a finite list
%   and the others are either free or  finite lists. All three lists
%   are in the same order.

%!  group_pairs_by_key(+Pairs, -Joined:list(Key-Values)) is det.
%
%   Group  values  with  equivalent  (==/2)  consecutive  keys.  For
%   example:
%
%     ==
%     ?- group_pairs_by_key([a-2, a-1, b-4, a-3], X).
%
%     X = [a-[2,1], b-[4], a-[3]]
%     ==
%
%   Sorting the list of pairs before grouping   can be used to group
%   _all_ values associated with a  key.   For  example, finding all
%   values associated with the largest key:
%
%     ==
%     ?- sort(1, @>=, [a-1, b-2, c-3, a-4, a-5, c-6], Ps),
%        group_pairs_by_key(Ps, [K-Vs|_]).
%     K = c,
%     Vs = [3, 6].
%     ==
%
%   In this example, sorting by key   only (first argument of sort/4
%   is 1) ensures that the order of  the values in the original list
%   of pairs is maintained.
%
%   @param  Pairs   Key-Value list
%   @param  Joined  List of Key-Group, where Group is the
%                   list of Values associated with equivalent
%                   consecutive Keys in the same order as they
%                   appear in Pairs.
