OK.

So any expansion of the macro will lead to the message.  Guess I have to give up
hoping that the message could be targeted better to the programmer writing the
(declare...), whom it is aimed at, and not also users of the library.

The text could still perhaps be improved, as I suggested.  It would be better to
(a) mention `declare' and (b) show the unsupported expression in its entirety.
