[erlang-questions] Refactoring for edoc

[Pierre Fenoll]

Instead of rewriting everyone's code, my vote is on adding an option to Edoc
that would pretty print specs as if they were written using `when`.

Here is a mix of the two styles, as an example:
http://erldocs.com/current/edoc/edoc_lib.html?i=5&search=edoc#edoc

Note to self: fix that bug where instead of `[term()]` it should say
`proplist() = [term()]`!


Cheers,
