Re: 'mod' and 'div' need brackets ro read as atoms

[Daniel Diaz]

hello Jasper,

gprolog 1.4.0 follows the "next" Prolog ISO standard (which is in fact a corrigenum) called DTC2

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/ulrich/iso-prolog/dtc2

in which div is an operator (flooring integer division). As an argument of an operator you have to write (div). E.g. instead of P = div you have to write P = (div). This is compatible with older versions of gprolog.

| ?- P = div.
uncaught exception: error(syntax_error('user_input:1 (char:5) current or previous operator needs brackets'),read_term/3)

This is a problem because I cannot read terms written by pre-1.4 versions of GNU prolog (or other prologs) including these atoms. Also there does not seem to be any reason for it -- other 2-ary arithmetic operators like atan2 can be read directly so why not these?
