+	    Fix false warning about closure application</p>
+          <p>
+	    Whenever a variable that could hold one of two or more
+	    possible closures was used in a particular application,
+	    the application was assumed to fail if ONE of the
+	    closures would fail in this application. This has been
+	    corrected to infer failing application if ALL possible
+	    closures would fail in the particular application.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Change category of 'might also return' warnings</p>
+          <p>
+	    Dialyzer emits warnings like the following "The
+	    specification for _ states that the function might also
+	    return _ but the inferred return is _", which are
+	    actually underspecifications and not wrong type
+	    specifications. This patch makes sure that they are filed
+	    under the appropriate category.</p>
