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.

... 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?
