The general philosophy for handling things that cannot be run on all
platforms is that if a dev attempts to run it on a non-supported
platform, it won't crash their system; instead, it should gracefully
handle the problem and provide some appropriate notice to the
developer. The docs should also clearly define this as platform-
specific behavior.
If it is possible to provide similar behavior with a different
implementation on other platforms, then there should be an if
structure bracketing the platform-specific chunks of code.
