[erlang-bugs] Emacs package: Local function named "get" highlighted like built-in functions

[Luis Gerhorst]

Is there a way to prevent these keyword from being highlighted as bifs if they refer to a function defined by another module or do I simply have to avoid using such function names?

The syntax highlighter doesn't understand that get/2 is defined locally in the current module, so it thinks your call to get is to the underlying 'erlang:get/1', not to ?MODULE:get/2. And all problems stems from there.
