Reasoning about the instantiation of variables
is a non-declarative feature. Thus, in PAKCS
this can only be realized by the use of the library Unsafe
( http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~pakcs/lib/CDOC/Unsafe.html ).

The Unsafe library contains operations to convert any term
(containing unbound variables) into a string (e.g., showAnyQTerm)
or back (e.g., readAnyQTerm) or a test whether an
expression evaluates to an unbound variable (isVar).
However, all these operations should be used with care
since the order of evaluation might influence their results.
Thus, they are "unsafe" and we have used them only to build
tools (like debuggers) for Curry in Curry.

Best regards,

Michael
