Re: Setting inference depth

You can set the maximum inference depth via the :maximum-depth option to "ask"
or "retrieve".  For example,

(retrieve all (needs-lots-of-rules ?x ?y)
              :maximum-depth 120)

The default depth setting is 25.  And yes, it looks like this option is
undocumented, sorry.  We'll add that to the documentation for "ask" and
"retrieve" for the next release.
