There have been some improvements to term\_expansion/2, see [How to get to a fixed point with goal expansion?](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/how-to-get-to-a-fixed-point-with-goal-expansion/334)

For this particular situation, wrap\_predicate/4 turned out to be the easiest (and best?) solution.
