Would you like to complete the support for preprocessor directives?
No, not really. Porky.py has a relatively small DSL designed for
rewriting C++ expressions; it's a major scope creep to include
preprocessor directives there.
However, you might find support for adding the ability to rewrite
preprocessor directives to pork (the tool porky.py is built on). Off
the top of my head, I don't know what this would entail, but others that
read this newsgroup would know.

The stream editor is not appropriate because I need to extract text
positions together with the found symbols.
I have got the impression that the application of regular expressions is
also potentially unsafe.
How do you think about a cooperation with the Wave class library?

I'm not really sure what your use case is. If it's just renaming a
known set of include guards, I'd still give sed a shot (perhaps wrapped
in a higher-level script that generates sed rewrite expressions based on
filename).
Cheers,
Chris
