Fix some inaccuracies in haskell.html.markdown
- The bottom of the "List and Tuples" section may mislead the reader into thinking that the `fst` and `snd` functions can be applied to any tuple; it's worth mentioning that those functions only apply to pairs. - The example demonstrating the use of the function-application operator (`$`) in combination with the function-composition operator (`.`) seems a bit contrived. For completeness, I've added an example that uses `$` alone. - "If statements" and "case statements" are actually expressions, in Haskell; I've replaced all occurences of the word "statement" appearing in that context by the word "expression". - Minor wording improvement (replaced "because" by a semicolon).
