[erlang-questions] Fwd: Can't create schema in Mnesia

[Bob Ippolito]

If you use a fully qualified M:F(A) style call, then the compiler won't try
and verify that it exists.

1> fun () -> x:this_definitely_does_not_exist() end.
#Fun<erl_eval.20.80484245>

To have the compiler ignore whether a function is used or not, you can use
-compile(export_all). This should really only be enabled sparingly during
development (and perhaps conditionally compiled in for tests).
