I like the idea.

From a quick glance, it seems that at least the following are missing:

- multiline strings (with `"""`)
- tuples and unit type pattern matching
- `exposing (..)` import
- characters (`Char` with `'`)
- records fields accessors without the syntax suggar (`.field record`)

You could also show that record fields accessors work on expressions, for example:

```auto
(named "myname").name

```

Also have a look there:

> Please share your knowledge of any lesser known Elm syntax that is not mentioned in the official overview ([http://elm-lang.org/docs/syntax](http://elm-lang.org/docs/syntax)) and is possibly buried somewhere else and easy to miss. I was pleased to find out that for function parameters that are records or tuples, you do not need to choose between either destructuring that parameter OR giving a name to it as a whole. You can do both at the same time using the wrapping (… as foo) syntax! f a b c = … f a {x, y} c = … …

There are other things like multiple imports using the same alias.
