> I could finalize my tests against the entire Mercury library code.

> All is OK. I applied your patch on top of mine.
> 
> Also, I added two new corner-case fixes, which are mentioned in the 
> commit message:
> 
> 1. The first new fix is for 0-arity predicates and functions. Yes, 
> Mercury has them. (They play the role of global immutable constants in 
> other languages).
> 
> They happened not to be caught by the previous code, now they are.
> 
> 2. I also removed module names from within tag names. The point is that 
> module name prefixing is optional in most cases, so if you leave the 
> module prefix within the tag, you will fail to get to the declaration 
> when striking M-. on a (non-prefixed) predicate name. It is better to 
> remove the name altogether. This will automatically trigger an explicit tag.

Thanks, installed.
