I would very much like to re-awaken this eep as I see it has clear benefits. Many times it would be very practical to be able to SAFELY create atoms at run-time and not risk overflowing the atom table. For long lived systems this can be crucial. And I could seriously need this in LFE. :-)
Are there any serious problems with adding this except for the case that some code may become a little slower? Robert On 5 August 2008 at 05:21, Richard A.
