Nitpick: I believe all of the errors raised by Erlang do not have a _ after bad. You have badarg, badfun, badkey, badmap, etc. I would probably keep it consistent.

That's my bad. I should write the user-facing error message, not just the internal one. Some errors in erl_error.erl use _ though, like bad_generator, but it's internal. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Ah, if we already have bad_generator, then bad_generators make the most sense. Thank you!

This EEP proposes the addition of zip generators with a syntax of
&&forcomprehensions in Erlang. The idea and syntax of zip generators (comprehension
multigenerators) was first brought up by EEP-19. Even if the syntax and
usages of zip generators proposed by this EEP is mostly the same with EEP-19,
the comprehension language of Erlang has undergone many changes since EEP-19
was accepted. With an implementation that is compatible with all existing
comprehensions, this EEP defines the behavior of zip generators with more
clarification on the compiler's part.
