[erlang-questions] Push a message to cowboy websockets

[Magnus Klaar]

Hi!

All names registered for a process will be cleaned up when the process
exits. Unless you need to switch between receiving broadcasted messages and
not mid-flight there is no need to unregister the property/name manually.
If you're looking for the same effect in the middle of the lifetime of a
process the gproc:goodbye function can be used to unregister all names.
