Why unable? I thought we have box.error.set(). You can always do

    box.error.set(error_object)
    box.error()

This is equivalent of

    box.error(error_object)

which you are doing in this patch.

But I am not against this patch. It is a nice sugar, when you need to
both set + throw. It is LGTM except the commit message due to comments
above.
