Hi,
the initial plan was that `GHC.TypeLits` should provide just the basic
functionality, and later other libraries would be build to provide more
convenient functions for specific applications. I don't know of any such
convenience libraries, so at present, people just import `GHC.TypeLits`
directly.

The GHC manual gives code examples that import GHC.TypeLits. The documentation on that module seems to request that users /not/ import it ...
This module is an internal GHC module. [...] The programmer interface for working with type-level naturals should be defined in a separate library.
... although I'm not sure what "what be" means here. Does that mean it's a to-do item, and that there will eventually be a separate library, but that we should use this "internal" library directly for now?
