 #14465 has already gone a long way in improving the runtime performance of
 `Natural` numbers. However, we still lack constant folding for these
 numbers so there is money left on the table.

 To fix this you will want to implement rules similar to those for
 `Integer` in the `PrelRules` module. Additionally, you will need to
 comment back in the `CONSTANT_FOLDED` pragmas in `GHC.Natural` (see
 Phab:D5267)
