+ <p>
+ 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>
