insert_suspension(?Term, +Susp, +Index)

   Insert the suspension Susp into the Index'th suspension list of the current
module's attribute for all metaterms that occur in Term.



Arguments
   ?Term               Any Prolog term.
   +Susp               A suspension.
   +Index              An integer.

Type
   Advanced Control and Suspensions

Description
   This predicate is used to insert a suspension into a suspension list in
   an attribute of one or more metaterms.  Since Prolog does not allow to
   insert new elements into a list in constant time, ECLiPSe provides this
   predicate.  It finds all metaterms occuring in the term Term and for
   each of them, it locates the attribute which corresponds to the current
   module.  This attribute must be a structure, otherwise an error is
   raised, which means that the attribute has to be initialised before
   calling insert_suspension/3.  The Index'th argument of the attribute
   structure is interpreted as a suspension list and the suspension Susp is
   inserted at the beginning of this list.  



Resatisfiable
      No.

Fail Conditions
      None.



Exceptions
     4 --- Susp or Index is not instantiated.
     5 --- Susp is not a suspension.
     5 --- Index is not an integer.
     6 --- The attribute of a metaterm in Term is a structure whose arity is less than Index.
   270 --- The current module has no declared metaterm attribute.
   271 --- The attribute of a metaterm in Term is uninstantiated or it is not a structure.
   271 --- The suspension list in the attribute of a metaterm in Term is neither a list nor a free variable, or it contains an element which is not a suspension.
