OTP is a collection of middleware, libraries, and tools written in 
Erlang programming language (Wikipedia, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Telecom_Platform). AFAIU it's much 
like the Java run-time engine plus libraries.

So „Erlang/OTP” is a standing term in the Erlang and Elixir world. Thus 
I would keep it, expecting that Erlang developers understand this.

I can't explain what this library does — all I know is: it's a 
dependency of rebar3.
