I complained about this issue 7 months ago:
http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2007-August/028516.html

In the end, LFE might be the way to go.  I have not had time to take a look
however.  Anyone have anything bad to say about it?

I don't think so. This is more like a practical thing: it is indeed a
little bit cumbersome to reorganize the branches because you have to
change the line endings. 

Not a big issue, anyway.
