## Public predicates

### `new/1`

Makes `Variable` a stream variable. Initial state will be empty.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`new(Variable)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`new(--streamvar)` - `one`
Exceptions:
Variable is not a variable:
`type_error(variable,Variable)`

### `new/2`

Makes `Variable` a stream variable and sets its initial state to `Value`.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`new(Variable,Value)`
Mode and number of proofs:
`new(--streamvar,@nonvar)` - `one`
Exceptions:
Variable is not a variable:
`type_error(variable,Variable)`

### `(<=)/2`

Sets the state of the stream variable `Variable` to `Value` (initializing the variable if needed).

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`Variable<=Value`
Mode and number of proofs:
`(?streamvar)<=(@nonvar)` - `one`

### `(=>)/2`

Unifies `Value` with the current state of the stream variable `Variable`.

Compilation flags:
`static`
Template:
`Variable=>Value`
Mode and number of proofs:
`(+streamvar)=>(?nonvar)` - `zero_or_one`
