Should we use a different word to declare such protocols?
syntax IntegerLiteral { // where “syntax” is just the lowercase spelling of whatever we end up calling the namespace
    // everything from `IntegerLiteralConvertible` goes here
}

It would certainly help create the mental distinction between these “syntactic” protocols and "normal” protocols.
