/*
To handle comparision operators the possibility of exceptions due to
insufficiently instantiated arguments must be handled. First try to make
the comparison and set the result to a Boolean atom. If an exception
happens just leave the comparison expression as the result and some other
function or combinator will deal with it. Example:
func(>, [A, B|S], [C|S]) :- catch(
(B > A -> C=true ; C=false),
_,
C=(B>A) % in case of error.
).
To save on conceptual overhead I've defined a term_expansion/2 that sets
up the func/3 for each op.
