As far as I can think the only code which should break is code like this: > module Main where > (#) = (++) > main = putStrLn x > where { x = "foo" # "bar" # > "baz" } (which in GHC prints "foobarbaz") which deserves to be broken IMO! > could also do this conditionally based on a flag to unlit which would be > turned on if we're planning to CPP the file, but there's another > problem: sometimes we use {-#OPTIONS -cpp#-} at the top of the file to > indicate that cpp is to be used, so we don't know whether we're going to > be cpp'ing until after we've unlitted the file :-( I would advocate only allowing #s where code is allowed, but I fear that ship has sailed :-( It would also be less simple with > being replaced by a space rather than removed.
