Character classification is based on code_type/2. This module started its life as library(http/dcg_basics) to support the HTTP protocol. Since then, it was increasingly used in code that has no relation to HTTP and therefore this library was moved to the core library. @tbd This is just a starting point. We need a comprehensive set of generally useful DCG primitives. */ %% string_without(+EndCodes, -Codes)// is det. % % Take as many codes from the input until the next character code % appears in the list EndCodes.
