Pat, et al..

The system I'm working on makes the assumption that the row variables occur
in the tail position in literals.  I take it you were working on a formal
characterization of this restricted SKIF language, right?

Anyway, it will be a while til it's ready for prime time.  It is nowhere
near as sophisticated as, say, SNARK, but it's designed to handle large
axiom collections like the SUMO.  I can give you a quick rundown on what
features are present if you're interested.
