To make the program readable, I gave a name to many variables which
are essentially _ (don't care). When (re)consulting my program,
every time many screens of such warnings are produced which
slow down the testing and programming annoyingly.
Does anybody know, how to suppress these warnings or to
maintain the same expressivity of code without creating those
"singleton variables".
In many Prologs, variables starting with _ are taken to be don't care.
I often used names such as _List, which mark the variable as don't
care but still identify its meaning.
