# metapredicates_compiled

This is a pseudo-example, based on the `metapredicates` example,
that is only used for testing library support for compilation of
calls to meta-predicates and lambda expressions that removes the
implied overhead making their performance practical and equal or
close to the first-order alternatives.

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

```logtalk
%versions
```

Run the tests:

```logtalk
logtalk_load(metapredicates_compiled(tester)).
```
