[m-users.] GitHub release "aio" -- ANSI I/O support.

[Volker Wysk]

Hi, Sean!

This is from your ANSI module:

:- type aio_state
    --->    aio_state(
                f_colour :: bool,    % Colour or monochrome output?
                f_quiet  :: bool     % All output suppressed?
            ).

:- mutable(astate, aio_state, aio_state(yes, no), ground, [untrailed]).

% ...

:- pragma promise_pure(enable_colours/1).

enable_colours(Mode) :-
    semipure get_astate(aio_state(_, Quiet)),
    impure set_astate(aio_state(Mode, Quiet)).


I'm wondering why you aren't using "attach_to_io_state" and don't make
enable_colours an IO action. You're using the impure get_astate/set_astate
instead. I don't fully comprehend the implications, but this should probably
be avoided.

Cheers,
Volker
