Comment (by simonpj):

 > I'm in great favour of adding Natural literal into core. It was
 untrivial and I didn't pursue that back then,

 As comment:2 says, it's not trivial in the sense of "only 3 lines of
 code", but it is trivial (or at least easy) in the sense of "just follow
 the pattern of `Integer`".   I often find myself liking things that are
 simple and explicable even if they do a bit more duplication than we'd
 ideally like.
