#pragma region is a feature introduced by Microsoft in order to allow
manual grouping and folding of code within Visual Studio. It is
entirely ignored by the compiler. Clang has supported this feature
since 2012 when in MSVC compatibility mode, and enabled it across the
board in 2018.

On the contrary, as a user of GCC I would much prefer a consistent
behavior for #pragma region based purely on GCC version.
IE, so you can tell people:
"just update to GCC X.Y and those warnings will go away"
rather than:
"update to GCC X.Y and pass some new flags - but make sure

A quick search on github for "#pragma region" comes back with 170k C++ results
and searching for "#pragma" comes back with 38M C++ results
Possibly not the best metric, but we can "conclude" roughly 0.45% of
open source C++
