(* Built-in predicates are implemented in ML using the following FFI.
   *
   * The ffi data type uses GADTs to let one describe the type of an OCaml
   * function. Terms passed to the built-in predicate are then checked against
   * and converted to their types before being passed to the OCaml code.
   * The ffi data type is also used to generate the documentation of the
   * built-in (Elpi code with comments).
   *
   * Example: built-in "div" taking two int and returning their division and
   * remainder. {[
   *
   *   Pred("div",
   *        In(int, "N",
   *        In(int, "M",
   *        Out(int, "D",
   *        Out(int, "R",
   *          Easy "division of N by M gives D with reminder R")))),
   *        (fun n m _ _ -> !: (n div m) +! (n mod n)))
   *  ]}
   *
   *   In( type, documentation, ... ) declares an input of a given type.
   *     In the example above both "n" and "m" are declare as input, and
   *     as expected the OCaml code receives two inputs (n and m) of type
   *     int
   *   Out( type, documentation, ...) declares an input/output argument.
   *     The OCaml code receives an "int arg" (and not just an int).
   *     We will detail this later, for now lets ignore that.
   *   Easy( documentation ) just signals that the built-in does not alter the
   *     store of custom constraints
   *
   *   The OCaml code has to produce a tuple of outputs, the convenience
   *   notations "!: x" and "x +! y" should be used to produce, respectively,
   *   the first output and any extra one ("!:" begins the list, "+!" continues
   *   it). In the example two outputs (division and reminder) are produced.
   *
   *   In the ffi declaration above "int" is of type "int data" that is a
   *   record containing functions to inject/eject integers into terms.
   *   The function to eject (of_term) does not return an "int" but an
   *   "int arg"  where "'a arg" can be one of
   *     Data of 'a | Flex of term | Discard
   *   For arguments that are described as In in the ffi, only the first
   *   constructor is allowed (i.e. if the user passes a term that is ejected
   *   as Flex or Discard a (fatal, run-time) type error is raised).
   *   For arguments described as Out all 3 cases are valid.
   *
   *   Now let's go back to the two arguments the OCaml code discards.
   *   They are of type "int arg" as a consequence the OCaml code is
   *   made aware of the user passed. For example
   *     div 4 2 D _
   *   would result in the OCaml code being passed: 4, 2, Flex, Discard.
   *   In such a way the code can decide to not even produce the second
   *   output, since it is not requested (not very useful in this specific
   *   case). The notations "?:" and "+?" are like "!:" and "+!" but their
   *   argument is of type option, so one can output None in response to a
   *   Discard.
   *
   *   The FFI unifies the outputs produces by the OCaml code with the
   *   terms provided by the user. It is always correct to produce all
   *   outputs (and ignore the corresponding arguments in OCaml).

  (** Tools for InOut arguments.
   *
   *  InOut arguments need to be equipped with an 'a ioarg Conversion.t.
   *  The ioarg adaptor here maps variables to NoData and anything else to the
   *  to Data of the provided 'a Conversion.t.
   *
   *  If the 'a is an atomic data type, eg int, then things are good.
   *  If the 'a is an algebraic data type then some more work has to be done
   *  in order to have a good implementation, but the type system cannot
   *  enforce it hence this documentation. Let's take the example of int option.
   *  The Conversion.t to be passed is [int ioarg option ioarg Conversion.t],
   *  that is, ioarg should wrap each type constructor. In this way the user
   *  can pass non-ground terms. Eg
   *  given term : X       none       some X              some 3
   *  readback to: NoData  Data None  Data (Some NoData)  Data (Some (Data 3))
   *
   *  Alternatively the data type 'a must be able to represent unification
   *  variables, such as the raw terms, see [ioarg_any] below. It gives NoData
   *  if the user passed _ (Discard) and Data t for any other t including
   *  variables such as X (UnifVar).
   *
   *  An example of an API taking advantage of this feature is
   *    pred typecheck i:term, o:ty, o:diagnostic
   *  that can be used to both check a term is well typed and backtrack if not
   *    typecheck T TY ok
   *  or assert a term is illtyped or to test weather it is illtyped
   *    typecheck T TY (error _), typecheck T TY Diagnostic
   *  The ML code can see in which case we are and for example optimize the
   *  first case by not even generating the error message (since error "message"
   *  would fail to unify with ok anyway) or the second one by not assigning TY.
