[erlang-questions] Polymorphic opaque types and dialyzer

[Dmitry Groshev]

Dialyzer can't handle polymorphic opaque type:

$ echo "-module(opaque)." >> opaque.erl
$ echo "-opaque test(A) :: {A, A}." >> opaque.erl
$ dialyzer --src opaque.erl
  Checking whether the PLT

Is there any solution to this? Will it be fixed in upcoming releases of Erlang?
