Is there a way to specify a warning in LaTeX which is thrown if and only if a specified text is not at the bottom (or near the bottom) of the page?

Use-case: manual column-breaking is needed due to some package shortcoming, the warning is there to warn the user if the column break has moved upwards or downwards on the page.

look at needspace package (although it isn't infallible) – David Carlisle Oct 14 '13 at 20:48
@DavidCarlisle I think there won't be an infallible solution for this, so thanks anyway. – masu Oct 15 '13 at 17:20
