Idea: Extensible Union types and benefits they bring for real world Elm code

This puts into words the discomfort with “Msg” types that I’ve run up against time and time again as I take on increasingly complex Elm apps. I think what really resonates with me is how you address the problem we have trying to follow the instructions in the Structure section of the Elm guide. I love those guidelines, but have found them impossible to follow with our current tools, and I think you’ve hit it on the head with extensible union types filling that gap.
