[erlang-bugs] Wrong warning when dispatching to a literal tuple

The following code:

-module(foo).
-compile(export_all).

sample() -> ({ hello, 1 }):world().


Issues the following warning:

foo.erl:4: Warning: invalid module and/or function name; this call will
always fail


Which is not true if there is a "hello" module defined.
This issue has been reported here:
