Given that #error generally _does_ cause processing to halt, it could
simply be:

"Causes the implementation to produce a diagnostic message that inlcudes
the specified sequence of preprocessing tokens, but processing of the
translation unit continues."

I.e. whether processing halts or not isn't defined with #error, but with
#warning, processing is explicitly defined to continue.
