Use the context builder to mark ranges of code that make up a "context". I 
don't know erlang, but if it is a functional language without any OOP features 
than yes, only function probably have their own contexts (in addition to the 
global TopDUContext making up a file).

I'm not sure about this one as I don't know Erlang, yet what I can tell from 
my (very limited) experience with Haskell:

Use declarations for functions, their arguments and type definitions. You 
probably don't have anything like "local variables" and the like, yet it's 
useful to jump to arguments, typedefs etc. pp.
