Several recent messages have made incidental reference to this subject under
various names.  I'd like to know if there's a good overview or introductory
level discussion of the topic (particularly in the Prolog context).  It seems
that, along with difference lists and various other tricks, a working knowledge
of unfolding (how to do it, when it's worth it, what are the pitfalls, etc.)
would be a valuable addition to the Prolog programmer's armamentarium.
