Accessing typespecs from a module

[eksperimental]

I'm trying to fix this bug.
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/4582/files#r62423420

I'm trying to see how can I access a module type (Inspect.Opt.t/0 in
this case), but I cannot seem to find anything suitable in
Kernel.Typespec

If anybody knows an easy way (other than parsing the beam file), It
will be appreciated.

if not, Jose, is it ok to read from the beam file?
cheers

It is not OK to read from the BEAM file. Typespecs are annotations, we are not supposed to rely on it during runtime, you will need to repeat the definition in your typespecs in your code as well.

Thanks for answer José,
Not to happy about the solution,
because that will require that when code gets updated, we will have to
duplicate the changes, and we may forget to do that.

Is this a feature that could be added to Elixir, or its not there due
to technical limitations?
