Gtk+ 2 uses the following trick to do just that and have the compiler
help enforce it:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/configure.in?h=gtk-2-24#n1637

Which is then used like so:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkhandlebox.h?h=gtk-2-24#n56

There are also new macros in gtk+ 3 for deprecations...

Cheers,
