Term1 = Term2 unifies Term1 and Term2. No occurs
check is done, i.e. this predicate does not check if a variable is unified
with a compound term containing this variable (this can lead to an infinite
loop).
= is a predefined infix operator (section 6.14.10).
Errors
None.
Portability
ISO predicate.

Term2. The occurs check test is done (i.e. the unification fails if
