They are still implementation defined. However, I'm not sure if
"implementation defined" includes printing error messages, since the standard
explicitly states that unknown pragmas may not generate errors.
There has been a long discussion about the usefulness of #pragmas. gcc refused
for a long time to implement any pragmas (apart from the "unusual" ones you've
mentioned). One of the problems is that two compilers may implement pragmas
with the same name differently, so to be safe, one *always* has to put a
#pragma into a #if that checks for a specific compiler.
