OK. Did not find this in the libs. Thanks!

(But why to have only type-less globals ? I understand, that globals
are somehow foreigners in a purely declarative world, but I think the
Mercury language - as in a similar way Haskell, too - has very nice
features to make a clean separation between declarative and imperative
code.)
