Current Behavior

import * as t from "io-ts";

const T = t.keyof({
  0: undefined,
  1: undefined,
  2: undefined,
  3: undefined,
  4: undefined,
});

type T = t.TypeOf<typeof T>;  // 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
console.log(T.decode(0));
{
    "_tag": "Left",
    "left": [
        {
            "value": 0,
            "context": [
                {
                    "key": "",
                    "type": {
                        "name": "\"0\" | \"1\" | \"2\" | \"3\" | \"4\"",
                        "keys": {},
                        "_tag": "KeyofType"
                    },
                    "actual": 0
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
console.log(T.decode("0"));
{
    "_tag": "Right",
    "right": "0"
}

Expected behavior

import * as t from "io-ts";

const T = t.keyof({
  0: undefined,
  1: undefined,
  2: undefined,
  3: undefined,
  4: undefined,
});

type T = t.TypeOf<typeof T>;  // "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4"

Runtime behavior is ok.

It would be nice if there was some way to support the union of literals trick for numeric literals.
