I presume you are answering that for the standard library.

If the standard library will have an incompatible build, then by definition 
ours that depends on the regular build is not compatible with it.

I don't see the point of restricting to performance-critical code. Either we 
use the macro everywhere where we apply a noexcept where preconditions exist, 
or we don't.

Said macro should be tied to the precondition itself, if we can. I haven't 
looked at the syntax: can one macro in one location expand to preconditions-
or-noexcept-or-both?
