PurposeIllustrate difference between frames and named-argument uniterms
DescriptionNamed argument uniterms with the same predicate symbol but different arities represent distinct predicates and so pattern p(a->?) will not match a fact p(a->foo,b->bar), whereas Frames are essentially syntactic sugar for an open set of binary predicates and so such partial patterns do match.
