Currently, neither the `SNat` type nor the `natSing` method of `KnownNat`
are exported from `GHC.TypeLits`. This is weird and awkward. There's no
apparent reason not to expose the `SNat` ''type'', although it may make
sense not to expose its definition. It also could possibly make sense not
to expose the fact that `natSing` is a ''method'' of `KnownNat`, but
there's no apparent reason not to export a function with its type. Can we
just do those?
1. Export the `SNat` type.
2. Export a function with the type of `natSing`.
