Design pattern:
	Adaptor

Description:
	"Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients
	expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise
	because of incompatible interfaces."

This pattern can be used with both classes and prototypes.

This pattern is usually implemented using either multiple inheritance
or using object composition. Both solutions are supported in Logtalk.
We illustrate in our sample implementation a solution that mimics
composition by using parametric objects. We could also have used in
alternative dynamic predicates to hold the same information passed
using parameters.

Print Logtalk, Prolog backend, and kernel versions (if running as a notebook):

```logtalk
%versions
```

Start by loading the design pattern sample implementation:

```logtalk
logtalk_load(design_patterns('structural/adapter/loader')).
```

Connect rechargers to phones.

Lightning charger:

```logtalk
iphone_recharger(iphone)::connect.
```

Chain two chargers:

```logtalk
iphone_micro_usb_recharger(iphone)::connect.
```

<!--
