;;; Version  Date      Description
;;; 2.0.0    06/25/08  Changes for V4.0.  (Doug Williams)
;;; 2.0.1    07/02/08  Verified immultability and updated the header.  (Doug
;;;                    Williams)
;;; 2.0.2    12/25/08  Added module contracts.  Simplified the definition of
;;;                    argument-list-merge.  (Doug Williams)

;;; (argument-list-merge list1 list2) -> (listof symbol?)
;;;   list1 : (listof symbol?)
;;;   list2 : (listof symbol?)
;;; Merge two list of variables maintaining the order.
;;; Todo:
;;;  - Check that this is only used in building the rule network and not during
;;;    inferencing.
