Comment:
The only solution I can see would be to always prefer cpphs over cpp for
preprocessing Haskell code.
That change is easy to make if people think it's the right thing to do in
general.
It previously used to work that way, but it was switched to use cpp by
default because few people had cpphs installed and some things would break
just for those users which was hard to track down. cpphs may have improved
since then and may be more widely deployed so it might be ok to switch
again.
