Well, if you want to dispatch it to another node, using a (compiled) fun is problematic. This is the main reason why I used {erl_eval, exprs, [Exprs, Bindings]}.

A fun can be run on a different node if the module it was compiled in has a compatible version (it doesn’t have to be the exact same version).
