The problem with a #pragma is that you need to wrap every _use_ of the
macro, rather than localizing the trickery to the macro definition.

Of course, if you could define it like this:

#define MACRO(i) \
#pragma specific_warning_off\
macro definition here\
#pragma specific_warning_on

it would be ok to use a pragma.

But how would that work if you write something like

  var = MACRO(i)

Hmmm...
