[erlang-questions] New module syntax and semantics?

[Tom Ayerst]

Is was looking at the mochiweb code and I saw some oddities.

firstly the module statement:
-module(mochiweb_request, [Socket, Method, RawPath, Version, Headers]).

In the use of mochiweb I can see things like Req:get(method).

This looks more like an object method call, is this new?  I cannot see an
docs about it.

Thanks for any info.

In the example Req ={mochiweb_request,#Port<0.142>,'GET',
                                         "/",
                                         {1,1},
                                         {9,
                                          {"host",
                                           {'Host',"127.0.0.1:8888"},
