Re: CPP is not part of Haskell

[Jan Skibinski]

        If a good pre-processor is still a valid option, would not
        something similar to Camlp4 be better than the plain CPP?

        Camlp4 ===> http://pauillac.inria.fr/camlp4/

        "Camlp4 is a Pre-Processor-Pretty-Printer for Objective Caml.
        It offers syntactic tools (parsers, extensible grammars), the
        ability to extend the concrete syntax of Objective Caml
        (quotations, syntax extensions), and to redefine it from
        scratch."

        If such a Haskell-specific tool existed and had the
        ability to support any syntactic extensions to Haskell
        then people would not have to worry too much about
        syntactic incompatibilities, would they?
