Given that your main concern is backward compatibility, is it an
inconvenient to you if 3rd party compilers such as GCC or Clang begin
adding this macro?

If you're still not comfortable with this macro by the time you want
to import one of those, it just takes a minute to remove it.

The purpose of this, of course, is to start the clock count (as you've
put it: "Once old releases of tools that can be broken by the new
macro use are long and forgotten we can start on relying on said
macro").
