Re: no function clause matching became no case clause matching exception

Just a bit curious, what is the lambda fun intended to do?

fun(a) -> "a" end

looks to me as it would only evaluate if called with a single symbol a
as arg and (silently) fail otherwise. If I extend a littl I get:

10> [(fun F(a) -> "a"; F(_) -> nothing end)(R) || R <- [a, b, c]].
["a",nothing,nothing]

Don't mind if the question is stupid, I'm still learning...
