No, that doesn't apply.  In each case, the function name F is used
once and only once.

In that case, I think that instead of doing

    F = fun () -> ... end,
    mnesia:transaction(F),
    ...
    mnesia:transaction(F)

it would be better to do

     Transaction = mnesia_transaction(fun () ->
         ...
     end,
     Transaction(),
     ...
     Transaction()

so that there's no possibility of calling F _without_ the
transaction safely wrapped around it.

The code is supposed to come from an expert, who clearly knows
amongst other things a whole lot more about MochiWeb than I do.
I just wondered what I wasn't seeing.
