I don't like this approach of modifying the type; type nodes are shared objects and this could affect all sorts of other logic subsequently working with the type. I think there should be some sort of annotation of the type (either in the type itself, or on the side) that *only* means an error has been given for the type being incomplete, rather than inserting error_mark_node into the type. -- Joseph S.
