[erlang-questions] Coming type checking in records :)

[Mickaël Rémond]

Hello,

It seems that type checking in Erlang record is coming soon :)

In Erlang R12B snapshot (file.hrl):

-type(date() :: {pos_integer(), pos_integer(), pos_integer()}).
-type(time() :: {non_neg_integer(), non_neg_integer(),  
non_neg_integer()}).
-type(date_time() :: {date(), time()}).

% 
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-record(file_info,
	{size   :: non_neg_integer(),	% Size of file in bytes.
	 type   :: 'device' | 'directory' | 'other' | 'regular' | 'symlink',
...


I guess the intend is to use this new information in dialyzer.

Anyway, it looks nice :)
