What's wrong with using Html.map?

Generally if you do need to have something like that, the better solution is to take a Msg -> msg function that wraps the inner message type and return Html msg .

If you have a (Msg -> msg) function, you might use it through Html.map (or Cmd.map in an update function):

someView : (Msg -> msg) -> Model -> Html msg
someView toMsg model =
    Html.div
         [ onClick DoStuff ]
         [ ... ]
         |> Html.map toMsg

I could have done that without Html.map, but just wanted to show it can be useful in this pattern too.
