[erlang-questions] Best practice to hot update .hrl

[Peter Lund]

My 2 eurocent:

1. You need to identify all .erl files that uses the updated
   part of in your .hrl file.
2. You need to identify processes that runs code those .erl
   (beam) files.
3. Then you a) suspend, b) update datastructures and c) resume
   these processes (if not more/all)
