Comment:

 A Natural type that doesn't need compiler support could be implemented in
 a standalone package, and doesn't need to be part of the compiler
 (although it could be proposed to become part of the base package in the
 future).

 If what you want needs compiler support, then it would probably be best to
 discuss the design on the cvs-ghc mailing list, or perhaps to make a wiki
 page describing it.
