var_number(@Term, -VarNumber)
True if Term is numbered by numbervars/3 and VarNumber is the number given to this variable. This predicate avoids the need for unification with '$VAR'(X) and opens the path for replacing this valid Prolog term by an internal representation that has no textual equivalent.
