That sounds like a great improvement.  
However, I am struggling with introducing `prefixed` and `suffixed` macro at the same time.

There is an example where I was trying to do it by using two sequential macro: [Peer macros on a protocol - #11 by blindspotbounty](https://forums.swift.org/t/peer-macros-on-a-protocol/65469/11) but that sounds like a hack.  
Furthermore, it doesn't work due to compiler bug: [Sequential peer macro (PeerMacro) is not taken in attention for compilation but conflicts with re-declarations (swift 5.9) · Issue #67506 · apple/swift · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift/issues/67506)

Therefore, I was looking for some solution that is in place or probably in plans. I would expect something like `names: prefixed(Prefix) & suffixed(Suffix)` or `names: prefixed(Prefix), suffixed(Suffix)` that would include name: `PrefixSomeNameSuffix`.

Could you suggest if it is currently possible in some way, please?

UPD: other thing that used to be possible was related to arbitrary conformance: generating protocol by struct/class definition and make a conforming extension for it. Example is here: [[Accepted] SE-0402: Generalize `conformance` macros as `extension` macros - #5 by blindspotbounty](https://forums.swift.org/t/accepted-se-0402-generalize-conformance-macros-as-extension-macros/66276/5)

Though it might be not very often cases for macro, they still might be valid.
