I didn't know about __compiletime_error() that certainly sounds
interesting even when using a normal #ifdef.
That said either with the function not being declared or this
__compiletime_error() mechanism I would think that using IS_ENABLED()
relies on compiler optimizations not to compile in the missing/error
function call, right? I'm not sure if that is something we should do.
