One could make a weak argument that #warning/#error/#message make a nice family
of flexible alerts
just because they're kind of what we're used to already. A possible use case
for warning:
#if canImport(Cocoa)
#warning("Your UI will look bad. This code works under OS X but this
library is intended for iOS-like environments")
#elseif !canImport(UIKit)
#error("Unsupported target GUI")
#endif
