Proposal: return pid() or dest() from Process.register/2

[J. Daniel Ashton]

At this point Process.register/2 returns true. It might be more useful for it to return the pid() or dest() that was just registered.

Bonus proposal: Process.info/1 takes only a pid(). Would it be helpful if Process.info/1 took a dest() ?

With kind regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Unfortunately changing the return type would be a backwards incompatible change.

Generally speaking, those operations are really just proxies to their Erlang counter-parts, so we keep their inputs and outputs the same.
