The pool that will record Current
next_alternative (explorer: EXPAND_EXPRESSION)
effective procedure
{ABSTRACT_BACKTRACKING}
top
Called by ABSTRACT_BACKTRACKING to let the current object switch to the next alternative to explore.
Two actions must be performed by that feature: 
  - make iteration actions and then call
     'continue_alternative' if iteration is not ended
     and that current object must be called again to
     switch to an other alternative or else call
     'pop_alternative' if this is the last alternative
     to be explored.
  - select the state to be evaluated or
     call 'continue' or call 'backtrack'.

Internal link used by the pool to chain its poolable items.
Technical note: to give more freedom for further usages of 'pool_link' it is not defined with type anchorage.
