The diff is straightforward and does not need review; the review
is for the idea of removing support of :- external. It has always been
an implementors-only part of the language, and it has been replaced
by external_pred and external_func pragmas for several months now.
Unlike :- external, these are NOT ambiguous.

Does anyone know of any code that uses :- external and which
hasn't been updated to use the replacement pragmas instead?

Zoltan.
