Sourceprolog:called_by(+Goal, -Called)
Goal is a non-var subgoal appearing in the called object (typically a clause body). If it succeeds it must return a list of goals called by Goal. As a special construct, if a term Callable+N is returned, N variable arguments are added to Callable before further processing. For simple meta-calls a single fact suffices. Complex rules as used in the library(html_write) library provided by the HTTP package examine the arguments and create a list of called objects.

The current system cannot deal with the same name/arity in different modules that behave differently with respect to called arguments.
