<body><div>Ooh, that looks similar, but better, to what we did in Erleans:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div> erlang:function_exported(Module, module_info, 0) orelse code:ensure_loaded(Module),<br></div>
<div> case erlang:function_exported(Module, FunctionName, Arity) of<br></div>
<div> true -><br></div>
<div> erlang:apply(Module, FunctionName, Args);<br></div>
<div> false -><br></div>
<div> Default<br></div>
<div> end.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I guess we should likely switch to `erlang:module_loaded(M)` instead of checking if `module_info` is exported. Thanks!<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Would be nice to have it patched though :)<br></div>

<div>I was recently wondering about this. Is there a reason code:ensure_loaded() does not short circuit using erlang:module_loaded()? It could probably even skip the request to the code server entirely in case the module is already loaded.<br></div>
