(* FaCiLe as a Prolog interpreter: the family tree

   In this example, we write the classic goals parent, grandparent and ancestor
   for the following family tree:

   sam
    |
   jim + lucy
       |
     fred + lynn
          |
         ann

   Then we search all the solutions for various questions, using a "findall"
   goal that builds a list of all the possible values for a given variable such
   that a given goal succeeds.

   This example was inspired by Mattias Waldau and translated from the
   following Prolog source:

   father(ann, fred).
   father(fred, jim).
   father(jim, sam).

   mother(ann, lynn).
   mother(fred, lucy).

   parent(X,Y) :- mother(X,Y).
   parent(X,Y) :- father(X,Y).

   grandparent(X,Y) :- parent(X,Z), parent(Z,Y).

   ancestor(X,Y) :- parent(X,Y).
   ancestor(X,Y) :- parent(X,Z), ancestor(Z,Y).
*)
