Eclipse does a similar thing with Java. It will replace methods that don't compile with a stub that throws an exception with the compilation error.

But is that transparent or they pollute the source code?

It's completely transparent, done only in the compiled class files. The signature of the method remains exactly the same, just the body is replaced.
