%%---------------------------------------------------------------------
%% A user complained that dialyzer produces a weird warning for the
%% following program.  I explained to him that there is an implicit
%% assumption that when a record is typed one cannot have types of
%% the same size which are tagged by the record name whose elements
%% have different types than the ones declared in the record.
%%
%% But the warning from dialyzer was weird nonetheless:
%%    The pattern {'r', [_]} can never match the type any()
%% We should clearly give some less confusing warning in this case.
