Naming predicates

Finally, a note about names. When writing new facts, you may have to choose names for your predicates - names like is_a, or loves, or has_part. Please avoid the name is, which means something special to Prolog. If you try to define a fact whose predicate is is, you will get confusing messages about updating built-in facts.
