Match specifications don't appear to be complicated, but the
documentation on them is sparse. I found the description in Cesarini &
Thompson to be much clearer than in the ERTS User's Guide, but I still
have some points of confusion.
For starters:
1. Quoting seems incosistent. Why is 'and' quoted but andalso is not?
2. Why is float division (/) not accepted in guards?
3. In the case of infix operators, does {'op','$1','$2'} always mean
"$1 op $2" (vs. "$2 op $1")?
4. The ERTS User's Guide lists get_tcw as an allowed function in ets
matches. Is that correct?
