[deprecated]atom_to_term(+Atom, 
-Term, -Bindings)Use Atom as input to read_term/2 
using the option
variable_names and return the read term in Term 
and the variable bindings in Bindings. Bindings is 
a list of
Name = Var couples, thus providing 
access to the actual variable names. See also read_term/2. 
If Atom has no valid syntax, a syntax_error 
exception is raised. If Atom only contains white space and/or 
comments, an
syntax_error(end_of_string) exception is raised. New code 
should use read_term_from_atom/3.
