 GHC 8.4.1 brought support for `Div`, `Mod` and `Log2` type families for
 type level natural numbers:

 * https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/libraries/base/base/GHC-
 TypeNats.html#t:Div

 I'm actually using this feature in `o-clock` package

 * https://github.com/serokell/o-clock

 But I was told about this feature only by other Haskell developer. And I
 don't see this change described in release notes for GHC 8.4.1:
