[erlang-bugs] Bug in gb_trees ? Integer key not found.

[Robert Virding]

Wouldn't the easiest and cleanest solution to this problem be just add gb_trees:from_list? I have no idea why there isn't one.

I don't know if orddict could be an opaque type as the point of it is that the representation is defined to be an ordered list.
