Comment (by dfeuer):

 goldfire, there are already two singletons for these, but one is
 uncomfortably buried where we need `unsafeCoerce` to get at it. Since we
 have built-in support for `Nat`, `Symbol`, `KnownNat`, and `KnownSymbol`,
 I don't really see the slippery slope. `singletons` should be able to use
 a newtype instance around the one in `base`.
