[erlang-questions] specs for fixed length lists

[Anthony Ramine]

Doesn't this spec mean "a list of atom() or list of integer() and empty list"? I don't see any nonempty constraint in this type.

Regards,

The exact number of elements is not tracked. And if you for example try to say "[atom() | [integer() | []]]", it will just be the same as saying "nonempty list of atom()|integer()" - the order of occurrence of the element types is also not part of the list type.
