+	    <p>Variables are now now allowed in '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' as
+	    suggested by Richard O'Keefe in EEP-23.</p>
+	    <p>The representation of '<c>fun M:F/A</c>' in the
+	    abstract format has been changed in an incompatible way.
+	    Tools that directly read or manipulate the abstract
+	    format (such as parse transforms) may need to be updated.
+	    The compiler can handle both the new and the old format
+	    (i.e. extracting the abstract format from a pre-R15 BEAM
+	    file and compiling it using compile:forms/1,2 will work).
+	    The <c>syntax_tools</c> application can also handle both
+	    formats.</p>
