It's possible to encapsulate pragmas into preprocessor macros using the
_Pragma construct. In fact, config.h contains similar stuff, c.f.
_GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN and _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END.
Another possibility is to cast `win` to `id`, which I’d guess would

I still get the same warning, so this is not a solution.
By the way, while digging around I came across a lot of stuff saying

No, no warning is issued about that.
I believe that there are a number of #ifdef:s that could be rewritten in
this way, so we need something ergonomically. (If we could get rid of all
such ifdef:s there would not be a need for OS-version specific binaries.)
Given the options, I would say that a solution along the lines of
_GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN would be best. The pros are:
* All the messy bits can be located in one place, and it can easily be
updated to match future compiler versions. (Should some compiler start to
warn about, say, `@selector(setTabbingMode)`, that too could be
incorporated in the macros.)
* There is a natural location to place documentation and to describe the
situation
* In the code that use the macros, there is a signal to the reader that
something special is going on
* It's possible to write formal tests, ensuring the macros work as intended.
Unlike _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN, we should not use a leading underscore, as
such identifiers are reserved for the compiler itself. Maybe
NS_SILENCE_MISSING_METHOD_WARNING_BEGIN and -_END? The end result would
look like:
NS_SILENCE_MISSING_METHOD_WARNING_BEGIN
if ([win respondsToSelector: @selector(setTabbingMode:)])
[win setTabbingMode: NSWindowTabbingModeDisallowed];
NS_SILENCE_MISSING_METHOD_WARNING_END
