Re: Using Erlang libs in Elixir

Telemetry is a good example of an Elixir-friendly Erlang lib, especially
the docs: https://github.com/beam-telemetry/telemetry/

Some of the general Elixir library guidelines here also apply in Erlang:
https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/library-guidelines.html#content

The module name isn't a big deal IMHO, users can just do "alias :erl_lib,
as: ErlLib" if it bothers them.
