Exception handling idioms

[Vance Shipley]

Tim,

What I do is to write the gen_server like this:

handle_call({Atom, Int, List}, _, State)
        when is_atom(Atom), is_integer(Int), is_list(List) ->
    ...
    {reply, Result, State};
handle_call(_, {Pid, _Tag}, State) ->
    exit(Pid, badarg),
    {noreply, State}.
