type-level on Hackage.

I think, the original poster wanted value-level naturals, not type- level
naturals.

My (possibly incorrect) understanding was that value-level naturals required runtime range checks, whereas type-level naturals allowed you to validate them at compile time. I thought I'd mentioned that in my response, contrasting type-level naturals with value-level newtypes and other implementations.
