[erlang-questions] A style question

[Jayson Vantuyl]

I've always felt that "fun some_func/2" is underused.  In the case of Mnesia, it's easy enough to do:

> mnesia:transaction( fun actual_worker_fun/0 )

I also find this to be nicer for the purposes of documentation, static analysis, debugging, and readability.
