%   Convert any general Prolog term into   a JSON term. Prolog lists
%   are  treated  in  a  special  way.  Also,  JSON  terms  are  not

%     * Atom: =|{"type":"atom", "value":<string>}|=
%     * Integer: =|{"type":"integer", "value":<integer>}|=
%     * Float: =|{"type":"float", "value":<float>}|=
%     * List: JSON array
%     * Dict: a JSON object. Values are processed recursively.
%       (the tag is ignored)
%     * json([Key=Value, ...]): a JSON object Values are processed
%       recursively.
%     * compound: =|{"type":"compound", "functor":<string>, "args":<array>}|=
%
%   @param  Bindings is a list of Name=Var terms for variables that
