[erlang-questions] four element 'fun' tuple in abstract form

[Paul Mineiro]

hi.

we parse our erlang here as part of our build process.  i noticed recently
that we are seeing a 4 element 'fun' tuple in the forms produced from

{ _, _, Forms } = compile:file (F, [ binary, 'E', { outdir, Dir } ])

in particular, using as input the file below (this is from nitrogen),
i get a form of

{'fun',11,{function,validate,2},{0,10451040,'-render_validator/3-fun-0-'}}

i checked the abstract format page at
http://erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/absform.html#4 but i didn't see anything
that corresponded.

can anyone shed some light on what this form is?

        wf:f("v.add(Validate.Presence, { failureMessage: \"~s\" });", [Text]).

validate(_, Value) ->
        Value /= [].
