 `$env('ENV_VAR')` can also be used in top-level `#flag` and `#include` statements:

+#### `$compile_error` and `$compile_warn`
+
+These two comptime functions are very useful for displaying custom errors/warnings during
+compile time.
+
+Both receive as their only argument a string literal that contains the message to display:
+
+```v failcompile nofmt
+// x.v
+module main
+
+$if linux {
+    $compile_error('Linux is not supported')
+}

 ### Environment specific files
 
 If a file has an environment-specific suffix, it will only be compiled for that environment.
