Fritz, I can't find this anywhere in Xcode or gcc documentation.  To the
contrary, in GCC manual sec. 5.49,

"GCC supports several types of pragmas, primarily in order to compile code
originally written for other compilers. Note that in general we do not
recommend the use of pragmas... [use function attributes instead]."

I was asking if there is any way to do stuff like this:

#pragma message( "Hello, I'm compiling this section of code now so
apparently that ifdef Eric suggested must have switched." )
