If this used the assertion mechanism, then the performance impact would no
longer be small.  That starts costing a lot.

If you wanted to be able to control the warnings on a per-instance
basis and turn them on and off during runtime, the costs would start to
approach that of assertions.

My comment that the performance impact would be relatively small only
applies if the warnings are permanently on or off for the simulation, and
this is decided at compile time.  And of course, if the warnings are not
actually happening.
