I think a new section on “Type-level naturals” would make more sense.   That way it’s easier to find, and makes it easier to tell a coherent story

 

Do it on HEAD; Austin can merge as reqd.

Hello,

 

There are some docs under `Promoted Literals`.  I can add a few more paragraphs to capture the current state.  Two questions:

 

  - Should I add the new stuff in the same place, or should I move everything under a new Section (e.g., `Type-Level Naturals` or something)

  - Is there a special branch for the release candidate, or should I only do it on the `master` branch?

Comment (by Lemming):

 Type-level natural numbers are advertised everywhere for GHC-7.8, but I
 cannot find documentation in
   http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc2/html/users_guide/
