Love the proposal overall, but not sure about the CustomNSError name either. It doesn’t seem to read like a Swift protocol name.
 
Somewhat related, is there a reason these protocols don’t contain the “Protocol” suffix? Stands in stark contrast with the rest of the Swift protocol naming conventions (AFAIK).
