[erlang-questions] module params not visible everywhere

[Ulf Wiger]

I ran into the following snag when generating code:

-module('erlhive.ulf.epp', [___Env]).

-record(epp, {file,
              ...,
              macs = .erlhive_call:call_own_module
                         ({'erlhive.ulf.dict',
                           setelement(2,___Env,<<117, 108, 102>>)},
                          new,
                          0,
                          [],
                          setelement(2,___Env,<<117, 108, 102>>)),
              ...}).

The compiler didn't accept this. Apparently, ___Env (the module parameter)
is not bound at record definition time.

I will work around this by generating getenv/1 and setenv/2 functions
(with the obvious namespace problems that follow), but I thought I'd
mention it.

It's not that I set out to specifically use the module params this way,
but the code is the result of a regular function call wrapper.
