I'm sorry, editing mistake! atom_to_list is of course not a good example.
(I started off with different code samples and edited them a couple of
times.)

The correct example would be a function that only takes atoms and returns
atoms. E.g.

good_example(ok) -> ok;
good_example(Other) when is_atom(Other) -> error.
