Comment(by simonmar):
GHC's unlit preprocessor leaves lines beginning with '#' in the output, so
that you can use CPP directives in literate comments. It has always done
that.
Arguably CPP should be run before unlit. I don't think I have a strong
opinion, but it's entirely possible that would lead to some unforseen
consequences; someone would need to try it.
