No, it isn't what I really want. I want something like this:

http://erlang.org/doc/man/ets.html#update_counter/6

But where all parameters changes and only some parameters types works together.

open(File::file_handler(), Procs::integer()) -> {ok, handler()}
open(FileName::list(), BlkSize::integer()) -> {ok, handler()}

But open(File::file_handler(), BlkSize::integer()) and
open(FileName::list(), Procs::integer()) are nonsense. I want write it
in @spec tag and I wouldn't like use open(FilenameOrHandler,
ProcsOrBlkSize) because only two from four combinations have mater.
