[erlang-questions] Function Reference to Code Tree

[Tyron Zerafa]

Erlang:fun_info(F) is returning the function body because it is constructed
in the shell which essentially passes the entire code tree to the erl_eval
module for execution. If you call this for a function constructed in a
module, you won't get this tree.

I need something along these lines that work for functions constructed in
modules rather than the shell.
