@brief When there are several solutions to a goal, if the user wants to collect all
the solutions he may be led to use the data base, because backtracking will
forget previous solutions.
 
YAP allows the programmer to choose from several system
predicates instead of writing his own routines.  findall/3 gives you
the fastest, but crudest solution. The other built-in predicates
post-process the result of the query in several different ways:

findall/3 is a simplified version of bagof which has an implicit
   existential quantifier on every variable.
 
Unifies  _L_ with a list that contains all the instantiations of the
term  _T_ satisfying the goal  _G_.
