[erlang-bugs] Documentation of beam_lib:version/1 is inaccurate?

[Rabbe Fogelholm]

According to the OTP documentation I should be able to do e. g.

     beam_lib:version(lists).

However, it seems that an atom representing a module is not accepted
as argument. My workaround is

     BeamFile = code:which(lists), beam_lib:version(BeamFile).


Console dump:

$ erl
Erlang R16B01 (erts-5.10.2) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
