::
\+ Goal
Not-provable meta-predicate. True iff call(Goal)
is false. This
built-in meta-predicate is declared as a private method and thus cannot
be used as a message to an object.
.. warning::
The argument is always compiled. As a consequence, when the argument
is a control construct (e.g. a conjunction), any meta-variables will
be wrapped with the equivalent to the call/1 control construct.
Note that these semantics differ from the ISO Prolog Core standard
specification for the (\+)/1
built-in predicate.

| Goal
is a variable:
| instantiation_error
| Goal
is neither a variable nor a callable term:
| type_error(callable, Goal)
| Not-provable goal in the context of the object or category containing the call:
| \+ Goal
| Not-provable goal sent as a message to :term:self
:
| \+ ::Goal
| Not-provable goal sent as a message to an explicit object:
