show-progress [Function]

Purpose

The show-progress function is a hook for user interfaces. If the :emit-classify-dots feature is set, it is called with argument :classify whenever a concept classifies, completes, or merges. If the :emit-match-stars feature is set, it is called with argument :match whenever the type of an instance changes. The user may redefine show-progress to give custom progress indications, in addition to the standard dots, stars, etc. issued by Loom.

Arguments
