/** <module> Provide persistent dynamic predicates

This module provides simple persistent storage   for one or more dynamic
predicates. A database is always associated with a module. A module that
wishes to maintain a database must declare  the terms that can be placed
in the database using the directive persistent/1.

The persistent/1 expands each declaration into four predicates:

	* name(Arg, ...)
	* assert_name(Arg, ...)
	* retract_name(Arg, ...)
	* retractall_name(Arg, ...)

As mentioned, a database can  only  be   accessed  from  within a single
module. This limitation is on purpose,  forcing   the  user to provide a
proper API for accessing the shared persistent data.

Below is a simple example:

==
:- module(user_db,
	  [ attach_user_db/1,		% +File
	    user_role/2,		% ?User, ?Role
	    add_user/2,			% +User, +Role
	    set_user_role/2		% +User, +Role
	  ]).

:- persistent
	user_role(name:atom, role:oneof([user,administrator])).

attach_user_db(File) :-
	db_attach(File, []).

%%	user_role(+Name, -Role) is semidet.

user_role(Name, Role) :-
	with_mutex(user_db, user_role(Name, Role)).

add_user(Name, Role) :-
	assert_user_role(Name, Role).

set_user_role(Name, Role) :-
	user_role(Name, Role), !.
set_user_role(Name, Role) :-
	with_mutex(user_db,
		   (  retractall_user_rule(Name, _),
		      assert_user_role(Name, Role))).
==

@tbd	Provide type safety while loading
@tbd	Thread safety must now be provided at the user-level. Can we
	provide generic thread safety?  Basically, this means that we
	must wrap all exported predicates.  That might better be done
	outside this library.
@tbd	Transaction management?
@tbd	Should assert_<name> only assert if the database does not
	contain a variant?
