% Authors : pets (Peter Schachte)
% Stability : low
% Purpose : A backtrackably modifiable storage type
%
% This module defines a type which is, in essence, a ``box'' into which you
% can put any term, and later destructively replace the contents with
% something else. The store module in the standard library provides a clean
% way to do exactly the same thing; the difference is that the reference
% module allows you to do it without threading a store through your code. The
% price for this convenience is that you must mark all predicates that create
% or modify a reference, and all the predicates that call them, and so on, as
% impure. This is probably more inconvenient than just threading the store
% through your code, so this module should probably only be used in
% exceptional circumstances.
%
% This module is implemented using the trailing features described in the
% "Trailing" section of the "C interface" chapter of the Mercury Language
% Reference Manual. This means that in order to use this module, you *must*
% compile with the --use-trail switch. The easiest way to do this is to
% include the line
%
% GRADEFLAGS=--use-trail
%
% in your Mmakefile.
