Similarly to <code>.err</code>, this directive emits an error, but you can specify a
string that will be emitted as the error message. If you don't specify the
message, it defaults to <code>".error directive invoked in source file"</code>.
See <a href="Errors.html#Errors">Error and Warning Messages</a>.
