[erlang-questions] Maps branch and disclaimers

[Fred Hebert]

The advantage I see with returning operator atoms directly is being able
to do fancy crap like erlang:apply(erlang, operator(), [A,B]) or
whatever, or maybe passing them as funs, which otherwise would need to
be manually converted using lt / eq / gt, or 1 / 0 / -1, while still
being able to match on them (although it would require more syntax by
quoting atoms).
