It seems that for dictionary functions, meta_predicate has no effect and it always qualifies the passed Goal as residing in the module of the dictionary:
% bar.pl
:- module(bar, []).
:- use_module(foo).
printer :- write(hi).
test :- _ = foo{}.test(printer).
% foo.pl
:- module(foo, []).
:- meta_predicate test(0, +, -).
F.test(Goal) := F :- call(Goal).
Calling bar:test now yields:
ERROR: Unknown procedure: foo:printer/0
ERROR: However, there are definitions for:
ERROR: bar:printer/0
Is there a way around it?
