I spotted some test code that can be simplified even further, and had a question about the Elixir version for OTP 26. I am all in favor of focusing our efforts on currently supported OTP and Elixir releases. I will look forward to replacing our old edoc style module docs with newer (OTP-27) triple quoted doc strings, so we can use regular markdown in doc sections, and not the strange `markup' style for code markup once OTP 26 has been sunset.
