Not sure what you mean with the comment about sofs.

sofs is purely functional and does not use ets.
It has a few functions that convert to and from
digraphs (and the digraph uses ets), but there is
no direct use of ets.

P.S. As one of the biggest fans of the sofs module,
I thought I had to defend sofs. :-)
