I assume that the sequence of code points after #warning is to be
handled identically to how #error handles its sequence of codepoints?

I ask because #error is a touch broken with certain characters, which is
very annoying:

I don't care if a special case is just made for ' when used inside
#error or #warning, but this has been a consistent gotcha since I first
started writing in C 25 years ago and I'd like it to go away please.
