Ah, I *knew* you were going to say this. Of course you're right, and I
admit I was trolling you ever so slightly :)

But come on, the point is in the public facing and predominating use
of "OTP" to represent a "framework". If you have to disassemble the
machinery of Erlang to get out from this so called framework, it ain't
a framework.
