An unimplemented implementation is an oxymoron. Instead, I'd recommend you add
another attribute to override the unimplemented marker and say it has been
implemented.

Which is very special and does not work across DLLs on Windows. Do not copy
this precedent. This is even less workable because it requires linker changes.
