 A key motivation for first instantiated argument indexing is to enable

 For example, a natural definiton of `maplist/2` reads:
 
 ```
 maplist(_, []).
-maplist(Goal, [L|Ls]) :-
-        call(Goal, L),
-        maplist(Goal, Ls).
+maplist(Goal_1, [L|Ls]) :-

 In this case, first instantianted argument indexing automatically uses
 the *second* argument for indexing, and thus prevents choicepoints for
 calls with lists of fixed lengths (and deterministic goals).
