If we want to encourage people to read the sample programs
and learn Mercury programming from them, they should not be written
in an obsolete style.

Replace uses of __ as module qualifier with dot.
Replace (C->T;E) with (if C then T else E).
Use our usual indentation for if-then-elses and for switches.
Import one module per line. Put those imports into alphabetical order.
Replace many uses of DCGs with state variables, leaving DCGs
mostly just for parsing code.
Use predmode declarations where this helps.
Put predicates in top-down order where relevant.
Use io.format where this helps.
Do not put more than one predicate call on one line.
Put each function symbol in a du type on a separate line.
Put spaces after commas, around the bar in list syntax,
around arithmetic operators, and around minus signs used for pairs.
Replace tab indentation with four-space indentation.
Delete spaces at the ends of lines.
Replace two or more consecutive blank lines with one blank line.
Delete blank lines that do not help structure the code.
There are probably still some examples of old practices remaining;
I do not claim to have fixed them all.
samples/Mmakefile:
Add the beer program to list of targets.
samples/*.m:
Convert (C->T;E) to (if C then T else E).
Delete trailing whitespace.
Use predmode syntax instead of separate pred and mode
declarations.
samples/interpreter.m:
Fix up one predicate that had some clauses that used
DCGs and others that used state variables.
Don't use the name 'IO' for something that isn't the I/O state.
samples/diff/*.m:
samples/c_interface/c_calls_mercury/mercury_main.m:
samples/c_interface/short_example.m:
Delete trailing whitespace.
samples/beer.m
Add this sample.
I found the original version of this sample on 99-bottles-of-beer.net.
I've updated it, _tried_ to post a comment to 99-bottles-of-beer.net,
added it to rosetta code and thought, being a small example, that it
should also belong here.
