Have you tried using a [wrapper](https://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc/_SWI_/library/prolog_wrap.pl)?

I remember originally [noting](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/wrapping-predicates/668/21) this with wrappers but IIRC a Prolog wrapper can not pass stateful information from the `before` predicate to the `after` predicate. Never checked if that was allowed or not.

I also have to agree that this is often the case
