I think that's laying it on a bit thick. It's no worse than Python's "from 
__future__ import", or JS's 'use strict;' (quotes included).

I wish unknown declare directives were ignored, though, because it would make 
for a great forward-compatibility mechanism. Still, that, like the syntax 
format, is a decision made many years ago.
