``current_op/3``
================

Description
-----------

::

   current_op(Priority, Specifier, Operator)

Enumerates, by backtracking, the visible operators declared for an
object. Operators not declared using a scope directive are not
enumerated.

Modes and number of proofs
--------------------------

::

   current_op(?operator_priority, ?operator_specifier, ?atom) - zero_or_more

Errors
------

| ``Priority`` is neither a variable nor an integer:
|     ``type_error(integer, Priority)``
| ``Priority`` is an integer but not a valid operator priority:
|     ``domain_error(operator_priority, Priority)``
| ``Specifier`` is neither a variable nor an atom:
|     ``type_error(atom, Specifier)``
| ``Specifier`` is an atom but not a valid operator specifier:
|     ``domain_error(operator_specifier, Specifier)``
| ``Operator`` is neither a variable nor an atom:
|     ``type_error(atom, Operator)``

Examples
--------

| To enumerate, by backtracking, the local operators or the operators visible in :term:`this`:
|     ``current_op(Priority, Specifier, Operator)``
| To enumerate, by backtracking, the public and protected operators visible in :term:`self`:
|     ``::current_op(Priority, Specifier, Operator)``
| To enumerate, by backtracking, the public operators visible for an explicit object:
|     ``Object::current_op(Priority, Specifier, Operator)``
