Introduce GHC.TypeNats module with natVal
See libraries thread
Currently we have in the GHC.TypeLits module
natVal :: forall n proxy. KnowNat n => proxy n -> IntegerHowever, the result integer is never negative. Numeric.Natural module is in base since base-4.8.0.0.
I propose that we introduce new module GHC.TypeNats with natVal and natVal'
natVal :: forall n proxy. KnownNat n => proxy n -> Naturaland
natVal' :: forall n. KnownNat n => Proxy# n -> Naturaland other KnownNat related terms and type families.
