Yes, those symbolic funs using the "fun foo:bar/1" notation always use 
the latest version of the module when you apply them. They are not tied 
to any particular module version. (However, funs that use the syntax 
"fun foo/1", are tied to that version of the module, just as if they had 
been written "fun (X) -> foo(X) end", since the function foo(X) isn't 
necessarily exported.)
