This example illustrates how to use a complementing category to define what
is often described as an "around method". It uses the **experimental** `@/1`
goal annotation that allows calling the original predicate definition (in
the patched object) from its new definition in the category. This annotation
allows the new definition to call some goals, followed by a call to the
original definition, followed by calls to some more goals, hence the name
"around method".
