+parameter. Currently, the error parameter is always the last parameter of type
+``NSError**`` or ``CFErrorRef*``.  Swift will remove the error parameter from
+the imported API. When calling the API, Swift will always pass a valid address

Oh right, its the `const NSError ** const` that can work, because the outer
