A hint like "Are you accessing something that is not a record type as a record". Maybe with an example in hint as well. The classic example is for most devs myVar.length when they mean List.length myVar

I've been doing quite a lot of Elm the last few weeks, and this error in a more complex scenario swallowed well over an hour because I did not have the right experience for it yet. The next time I hit this I am sure it will be minutes to solve.
I think it would have helped me a lot to give a hint to the error message as you do very usefully in many other errors.
