Trap Exit (was Re: is there /dev/null process in Erlang ?)

[Serge Aleynikov]

Is this tool anyhow related to edoc?  Would it be possible to use edoc's 
doclet engine to export documentation using edoc tags into a wiki format?

Since I've seen quite a bit of code besides ours using edoc tags, I 
assume many people take advantage of it's ability to generate documentation.
