Using -spec for callbacks when defining behaviours

[Steve Davis]

Hmm.

I find myself, having read this discussion, left rather cold and
wondering: what problem does this idea resolve? I haven't really hit
any practical issues with using behaviours, or with dependencies on
include files. Both seem to work pretty well as they stand.

As a coder, I'm concerned that this suggestion (and other forms of...
type-envy?) may not actually get in the way of what we are trying to
get done rather than assist it?

fwiw, a year ago I would probably have been an active advocate of more
language support for type constraints, but the longer I spend building
things using erlang, the more I have come to see things in an entirely
different light.

Just my 2c here of course.
