Yes. I'm aware of Richard's formatting convention, and I would
use it myself if the Emacs mode didn't fight me every step of
the way (or at least every time I hit tab...)

I meant that there are probably more dense ways of expressing
the same thing, but I believe it to be in the spirit of
Erlang to favor intuitive constructs over the saving of a
few keystrokes. (:
