Issue #16647 has been updated by Dan Carley.
That makes sense. Having that resource akin to something between `error()` and
`notify{}` would make the overall error pretty understandable too.

Feature #16647: Client-side soft alternative to fail()

Keywords: soft fail immutable
Branch:
It would be useful to have a softer alternative to `fail()` which could
client-side fail individual resources and those that depend on them, rather
than server-side aborting the entire catalog compilation.
An example use case could be a parameterised class that validates the values it
receives. If given invalid values then you would want to generate a real error
and prevent the resources (plus reverse dependencies) from being created or
modified. But you wouldn't necessarily want to stop the rest of the catalog
from being enforced in the meantime.
