Yes, I still don't understand why you would want it as a

Yes outside of macros would be useful. For example code like this
would become redundant:
pragma(msg, "Support for x is not implemented on platform y");
static assert(0);
Becoming:
pragma(error, "Support for x is not implemented on platform y");
Also pragma's core responsibility is to cause the compiler to do
something. In this case to say we hit an error during compilation
please tell the user/dev and die.
It is a hook to the compilers workings.
Currently working on getting this implemented. Nearly done with
it. Just got some extra spaces that shouldn't be in output.
