Good.

Why?  The current approach is having FT_ERRORDEF_ macros that define
the error macro, the error code, and the error message, and it is up
to the application to create a proper enum, key/value dict, or
whatever.  Isn't it possible to use FT_VALIDATE_ERRORDEF macros to do
the same?  Or maybe your auto-generation process can create a C header
file with such macros...

Looks ok.
