I would strongly suggest that you start running dialyzer with the option 
-Wunmatched_returns on, at least on selected OTP applications like erts, 
kernel and stdlib.  Among other things, it reports all cases where 
"complex" return values like tuples and lists are ignored in function 
calls and it catches all cases like the ones of the file module.

A couple of weeks ago, I've submitted some patches that correct some of 
the warnings for stdlib and kernel.  These are currently cooking in pu. 
Your job will be easier once these are integrated.
