I must say, I'm still wondering why you (and others) consider 
parameterized modules an "experiment gone bad". Most of the criticism 
I've seen has been about the implementation (which was just intended as 
a proof of concept), i.e., tuples instead of a separate datatype, no 
additional support in tracing makes debugging hard, and so on. Those 
things could be fixed with a proper implementation. But the current OTP 
proposal is to keep only the crappy part of it, which makes very little 
sense to me. And if you dislike parameterized modules, do you dislike 
funs as well? They're both just closures.
