Unfortunately, putting in a notify would not fail the class and skip dependencies, it would instead succeed.
In general, you would want to use 'fail' to fail the compile since, in this case, you have a typo that you need to fix. However, I have also wanted a way for a soft-fail of some sort that would do what you are asking. In these cases, I tend to write custom types since this will do exactly what you are asking (at the expense of having to write the type).
