Error message when miscapitalizing a boolean value could be clearer
Naming Error
Line 36, Column 31
I cannot find a `false` variable:
36| ( Model "cat" "waiting.gif" false
^^^^^
These names seem close though:
value
abs
alt
class

declarations work in Elm.
This is the error message that you get as of 0.19.0 when you write false instead of False. This seems like it would be a common enough stumbling block to be more directly explained to the user. Something like "the boolean false is written with a capital "F" in Elm`.
I think the capitalization check could even be extended to all typos. For example if you have:
type alias User = { firstName : String, lastName : String }
user = User "Simon" "Herteby"
view model = div [] [ text User.firstName ]
It gives you the error:
I cannot find a `User.firstName` variable:
37| [ text User.firstName, button [ onClick Increment ] [ text "+1" ]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I cannot find a `User` import. These names seem close though:
Html.iframe
Tuple.first
Char.fromCode
isInfinite

It ought to be able to figure out that it was probably a typo, and user.firstName would be correct, since that would match the expected signature..
ie. make the typo suggestions more general I guess, instead of only having it for record fields.
actually maybe this should be it's own issue, if it doesn't already exist :thinking:
