Recurses positionally, dropping a head from each list each step. Both
arguments can be unbound, giving the natural enumeration:
(run 3 q (fresh (l1 l2) (samelengtho l1 l2) (== q (list l1 l2))))
-> (((), ()) empty/empty
((_.0), (_.1)) pair of 1-element lists
((_.0 _.1), (_.2 _.3))) pair of 2-element lists

rembero (remove-first) uses nafc to gate the skip-element clause so
the result is well-defined on ground lists. assoco is alist lookup —
runs forward (key -> value) and backward (find keys with a given
value). nth-o uses Peano-encoded indices into a list, mirroring lengtho.

Three conde clauses: nullo tree -> nullo flat; pairo tree -> recurse on
car & cdr, appendo their flattenings; otherwise tree must be a ground
non-list atom (nafc nullo + nafc pairo) and flat = (list tree).
Works on ground inputs of arbitrary nesting:
(run* q (flatteno (list 1 (list 2 3) (list (list 4) 5)) q))
-> ((1 2 3 4 5))

inserto a l p: p is l with a inserted at some position. Recursive: head
of l first, then push past head and recurse.
permuteo l p: classical recursive permutation. Empty -> empty; otherwise
take a head off l, recursively permute the tail, insert head at any
position in the recursive result.
7 new tests including all-6-perms-of-3 as a set check (independent of
generation order). 208/208 cumulative.
reverseo: standard recursive definition via appendo. Forward works in
run*; backward (input fresh, output ground) works in run 1 but run*
diverges trying to enumerate the unique answer (canonical TRS issue
with naive reverseo).
lengtho: Peano encoding (:z / (:s :z) / (:s (:s :z)) ...) so it works
relationally in both directions without arithmetic-as-relation. Forward
returns the Peano length; backward enumerates lists of a given length.

Three coupled fixes plus a new relations module land together because
each is required for the next: appendo can't terminate without all
three.
1. unify.sx — added (:cons h t) tagged cons-cell shape because SX has no
improper pairs. The unifier treats (:cons h t) and the native list
(h . t) as equivalent. mk-walk* re-flattens cons cells back to flat
lists for clean reification.
2. stream.sx — switched mature stream cells from plain SX lists to a
(:s head tail) tagged shape so a mature head can have a thunk tail.
With the old representation, mk-mplus had to (cons head thunk) which
SX rejects (cons requires a list cdr).
3. conde.sx — wraps each clause in Zzz (inverse-eta delay) for laziness.
Zzz uses (gensym "zzz-s-") for the substitution parameter so it does
not capture user goals that follow the (l s ls) convention. Without
gensym, every relation that uses `s` as a list parameter silently
binds it to the substitution dict.
relations.sx is the new module: nullo, pairo, caro, cdro, conso,
firsto, resto, listo, appendo, membero. 25 new tests.
Canary green:
(run* q (appendo (list 1 2) (list 3 4) q))
→ ((1 2 3 4))
(run* q (fresh (l s) (appendo l s (list 1 2 3)) (== q (list l s))))
→ ((() (1 2 3)) ((1) (2 3)) ((1 2) (3)) ((1 2 3) ()))
(run 3 q (listo q))
→ (() (_.0) (_.0 _.1))
