I am not against it per se, but one caveat is that it would not 
be compatible with C++.

Also, I think this is better determined using whole program 
optimization, the chosen integer bit pattern used for propagating 
errors has performance implications. The most freguently 
thrown/tested value should be the one tested most on performance 
critical paths.

Well, I guess you could manually assign integer values where 
there is important and autogenerate the others.
