Sure, that's an option. I'm still unclear why I can do this in every
other language I use but not Erlang. I find it hard to believe that all
other languages with this capability are doing something utterly stupid,
but Erlang, being the best language in the known universe, has gotten
it utterly correct. But once again, I'll concede.</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">One thing to muse about is how useful an unimplemented feature is, if said language is more than 20 years old :)</div>
