[mercury-users] How did Mercury do away with the cut?

I always found the cut to be a confusing part of Prolog. I was
wondering how Mercury managed to eliminate the necessity for this
predicate.

In eliminating it, is it still possible to make programs semantically
equivalent to Prolog in about the same amount of code?
