An annotation like that might be useful like a deprecation annotation is useful. Then the compiler can warn that you are possibly using an implementation specific or not-forward/backward non-abi-compatible thing from a library. Library implementers do make mistakes. If they do there might not be a way back, but it would be good to warn the user/developer about it. Cheers, Mark
