To keep the story short (if necessary, I can explain the use-case), if there any way to abort compilation with a message. I would use "static if" or "version" to check a situation, and "pragma msg" to show a message. But I couldn't have found any "proper" way to abort compilation.

static assert.
Like assert only at compile time.

I did suggest early on when I joined for e.g. pragma error but Walter & co didn't like it.
