Heh, though by not 'first-class' I mean that almost no tool supports it, it
is a manual pre-compilation step, as well as it has some oddities like
unable to recurse inside the {}, which is easily worked around (my main
thing is lack of tool support, elm-make, elm-format, etc...). But yep, it
is just the Html.* library in html syntax, though I really wished it
supported giving tag names that went directly to a given import, I.E.
instead of `<ul blah>stuff</ul>` going to `Html.ul [blah] [text "stuff"]` I
wish it went to `ul [blah] [text "stuff"]` that way I could import, say,
Material.Options.ul or so, or that I could do `import Material.Button as
Button` and be able to use it some how, some kind of compat layer. So that
is what I mean I guess, just it 'only' works with Html, not other Html-'ish
libraries like elm-mdl (which I do wish followed Html more if it were
somehow possible).
