To me, compound names for closure properties and satisfying property 
requirements with methods aren't hacks, they're missing features we ought to 
support anyway. I strongly prefer implementing those over your proposed 
solution. It sounds to me like a lot of people using optional protocol 
requirements *want* the locality of control flow visible in the caller, for 
optimization or other purposes, and your proposed solution makes this 
incredibly obscure and magical.
