Well, I have to admit that I actually was somewhat surprised to see the 
__report_warning() message being invoked when accessing the "ignore" 
property but then, as long as it works.....

But it does sound reasonable to me if problems are reported when the 
code creator tree is created, so maybe this would make the code more clear.

By the way, when exactly is _exportable_impl() called (or when is the 
exportable property accessed)? Would it also be an option to log a 
warning message right at the place where it is created? (this is 
probably what I would have done in the first place)
Or is the generated message string used for something else as well?
Or is "exportable" already accessed somewhen before the user actually 
ignored the declaration? (so that the message should not be printed)
