Type-level Peano number are also contained in:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tfp-1.0.0.2/docs/Type-Data-Num-Unary.html
and data-level Peano numbers in this playground module:
http://code.haskell.org/~thielema/htam/src/Number/PeanoNumber.hs
I'd prefer that 'base' shrinks rather than grows. If we find that people
like one implementation most, you could bless it by adding it to the
Haskell platform.
You might add a comparison of the packages to the Wiki page:
