Between the two, I'd say CPP is the much uglier beast. (I tend to
use m4
actually when I must use a preprocessor in general, it meshes with
haskell better
and is pretty ubiquitous). In any case, the simple solution of
not using CPP in the same file as string gaps works quite well. It has
never really been an issue before.
Repeat after me: CPP is evil!
Plus I like strings gaps and have used them a lot.
