Well, I guess I was asking for a tutorial which covers everything except
the parts that are not normally relevant for a DSEL user. For example, I
would expect the following to be left out:

   * Definition of data types and classes
   * Laziness
   * Monad internals
   * IO
   * etc.

Things that I think should be covered:

   * Polymorphism
   * Higher-order functions
   * Lists
   * Recursion
   * Monadic combinators
   * etc.

Of course, the requirements may vary from case to case, but you get the
idea.

Seems like a nice and gentle tutorial, somewhat like what I imagined.
However, it also seems a bit too "high school"-oriented for the audience
I currently have in mind :)
