There are essentially two (reasonable) ways for a Prolog system to attempt
to unify two compound terms which have the same functor and arity, e.g.,

    p(T11, ..., T1n)  and  p(T21, ..., T2n)

(1) Unifying the arguments in left-to-right order, and
(2) Unifying the arguments in right-to-left order.

Is it possible to determine (by writing a Prolog program)
which of these two orders is used for given a Prolog system,
and, if so, how?

Affirmative answers determined by looking in the manual,
poking through source code, calling the implementors, etc.
are *not* considered legitimate!

I know one valid (I think) affirmative answer,
but I'm sure there are lots of others...
