"...and #pragmas are the intended way to extend preprocessor"
So, yes, I stand by my opinion. Use "#pragma message", improve MSVC. Or
standardize "#warning" both in C and C++ and _then_ ask compiler vendors
to support the standard feature. Do *not* ask to support non-standard
"#warning" in MSVC and then sprinkle #ifdefs around the code to support
this new directive on some compilers and "#pragma message" on others.

Hm, I didn't know it was supported by gcc.
