Issues a compile time error if the .offsetof/.tupleof property is
used on a field of an Objective-C class.
To solve the fragile base class problem in Objective-C, fields have a
dynamic offset instead of a static offset. The compiler outputs a
statically known offset which later the dynamic loader can update, if
necessary, when the application is loaded. Due to this behavior it
doesn't make sense to be able to get the offset of a field at compile
time, because this offset might not actually be the same at runtime.
To get the offset of a field that is correct at runtime, functionality
from the Objective-C runtime can be used instead.
