+ <p> By default Dialyzer inserts line breaks in types,

+ current directory. <c>c:erlangrc(PathList)</c> can be
+ used to search and load an <c>.erlang</c> file from user

+ <c>erlc</c>, <c>dialyzer</c> and <c>typer</c> no longer

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p> Do not emit warnings for fun expressions residing in
