[PPL-devel] Prolog documentation incorrect

Hi everybody,

I just notice a small error in the documentation about the Prolog 
interface 
(http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Documentation/user/group__PrologInterface.html)

It says
" ppl_Polyhedron_contains_Polyhedron(+Handle_1, +Handle_2)
Succeeds if and only if the polyhedron referenced by Handle_1 is 
included in or equal to the polyhedron referenced by Handle_2"

when it works in the opposite way:


?- ?- 	ppl_initialize,
	ppl_new_Polyhedron_from_constraints(c,['$VAR'(0)>=2,'$VAR'(0)=<4],Poly1),
	ppl_new_Polyhedron_from_constraints(c,['$VAR'(0)>=0,'$VAR'(0)=<8],Poly2),

         ppl_Polyhedron_contains_Polyhedron(Poly1,Poly2),
         ppl_finalize.

no

?- ?- 	ppl_initialize,
	ppl_new_Polyhedron_from_constraints(c,['$VAR'(0)>=2,'$VAR'(0)=<4],Poly1),
	ppl_new_Polyhedron_from_constraints(c,['$VAR'(0)>=0,'$VAR'(0)=<8],Poly2),

         ppl_Polyhedron_contains_Polyhedron(Poly2,Poly1),
         ppl_finalize.

Poly1 = '$address'(268012696),
Poly2 = '$address'(268013120) ?


Maybe the situation is the same in the main API or in the C interface, 
though I didn't check them.
