Hi, I recently ran into an issue where I am calling erl_parse:abstract
on a fun which fails with function_clause. What I need is to convert any
term to abstract form and in this case it was a stacktrace containing a fun.

Now I see two alternatives for solving this:

1) Try to convert the fun to abstract form for and wrap it somehow.
2) Replace the fun with erlang:fun_to_list/1 or similar, and live having
the "string representation".

Either way seems a bit difficult as it would involve traversing an
unknown term and replacing funs as needed.

Is this possible to do? Or is there a simpler way?
