% start by loading the non-patched object "employee":

| ?- logtalk_load(complements_allow(employee)).
...


%  ask "employee" its name:

| ?- employee::name(Name).

Name = john
yes


%  ask "employee" its salary:

| ?- employee::salary(Salary).

Salary = 23500
yes


% check the protocol of the object "employee":

| ?- findall(Predicate, employee::current_predicate(Predicate), Predicates).

Predicates = [age/1, name/1, salary/1]
yes


% now load the "add_on" complementing category:

| ?- logtalk_load(complements_allow(add_on)).
...


% load the "dynamic.lgt" source file that creates a dynamic complementing
% category, also patching the "employee" object:

| ?- logtalk_load(complements_allow(dynamic)).
...


% find categories that complement objects:

| ?- complements_object(Category, Object).

Category = dynamic_patch,
Object = employee ;
Category = add_on,
Object = employee
yes 


% use the event handler defined in the "add_on" category for the object "employee":

| ?- employee::name(Name).
Received message name(_16) from user

Name = john
yes


% check the consequences of the runtime patch of the salary/1 predicate:

| ?- employee::salary(Salary).

Received message salary(_G192) from user
Salary = 42000
yes


% check the new protocol of the object "employee":

| ?- employee::predicates(Predicates).
Received message predicates(_G180) from user

Predicates = [after/3, age/1, before/3, income/1, name/1, predicates/1, salary/1]
yes

| ?- employee::predicate_property(predicates(_), Property).

Property = logtalk ;
Property = scope(public) ;
Property = (public) ;
Property = static ;
Property = declared_in(add_on) ;
Property = declared_in(add_on, 29) ;
Property = defined_in(add_on) ;
Property = defined_in(add_on, 31) ;
Property = number_of_clauses(1)
yes

| ?- employee::predicate_property(income(_), Property).

Property = logtalk ;
Property = scope(public) ;
Property = (public) ;
Property = static ;
Property = declared_in(employee) ;
Property = alias_of(salary(_G3724)) ;
Property = defined_in(dynamic_patch) ;
Property = number_of_clauses(0)
yes


% later, the boss finds out about the employee hacked salary:

| ?- abolish_category(dynamic_patch).

yes

| ?- employee::salary(Salary).

Received message salary(_G192) from user
Salary = 23500
yes
