As it happens, I use both Mercury and SWI Prolog, and, even though I
have glanced over XPCE's manual, it would not occur to me to use this
as a source.  In general, I am more interested in looking at how
declarative, functional languages (e.g. Haskell, Clean) handle things
than in how Prolog handles them, as these languages have a type system
and feel closer in spirit to Mercury.
