HELP ME, please

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

Couldn't this little code snippet be made into an official
OTP function, somewhere?

It's a little bit too complicated to hold in memory,
and the docs are a little bit too terse to allow
people to figure it out each time.

At least, it could become an example in the docs 
for syntax_tools or beam_lib? Then, people'd have
something to copy-paste from.

BR,
Ulf W
