This is a continuation from a conversation that originally started with
this issue https://github.com/elm-lang/package.elm-lang.org/issues/207
Here's the thing, essentially I'm trying to write a package that allows you
to define styles in elm, and, as a side effect, those styles are
automatically injected into the DOM in a <style> tag.
*What I'm looking for is some function that can take an arbitrary string,
and just insert it into the DOM?*
Now, I can achieve this with a native function, but native functions are no
longer allowed in the package manager (for good reasons, I think, but
still...)
Evan has suggested using the VirtualDom, but something like
whatever =
div [] [ node "style" [] [ text ".cats { ... }" ] ]
Simply creates a node representation in memory, but doesn't actually insert
it into the DOM.
So, looking for some guidance here
My current Elm-est attempt (still with a native module) can be found here

In terms of why this is useful, my original Javascript implementation
