ErrorType’s magic is only for Objective-C interoperability, and only exposed by diving into compiler implementation-level protocols.

This seems like a case where some syntax consistency is needed between ‘code generation’ proposals (such as member wise initializers). If there was guidance on what an eventual macro system syntax could look like, this could be taken into account as well.
