[swift-evolution] Proposal: 'T(literal)' should construct T using the appropriate literal protocol if possible

I think it could be simpler:

	public struct Literal<LiteralType> {
		public let value: LiteralType
		internal init(_value value: LiteralType)
	}
	
	public protocol IntegerLiteralConvertible {
		associatedtype IntegerLiteralType
		init(_ literal: Literal<IntegerLiteralType>)
	}

Only the standard library can create a Literal, which it would do by constructing the IntegerLiteralType with its magic builtin literal stuff and wrapping it. You still have your magic parameter aspect, but without any actual magic, just access control.
