Updates (::) documentation: Adds one more example.

[rebelwarrior]

This makes clear that to call the (::) as a function you need to wrap the :: in parenthesis by adding another example.
The example uses (::) as a function so it shows how it would be used with a pipe operator.
--This example doesn't use the pipe operator itself |> so it's much simpler than the previous one I submitted.

@jvoigtlaender Janis, this one is another documentation improvement. Please consider.

I'd rather not have this in the docs here. Beginners are likely to see 1 :: [2,3] pretty early on with Elm, whereas knowing that infix operators can be used as functions is kind of advanced. I suspect that adding this will be more confusing for beginners who do not need to know about this feature that is not directly related to cons.

There is one reason I disagree.

The pipe operator.

If you don't know you can do that you can't chain cons in a pipe operation.

It is rather advanced so maybe we can put it in another place?

I mean, it should be in the docs somewhere that you can use infix operators as functions. Not here though.
