 Currently, if you need to use `cpphs`, the only way of going about it is
 to define a custom `PreProcessor` in your `Setup.hs` and using it as an
 override in `hookedPreProcessors`. A seemingly sensible way of making this
 easier would be that `.cpphs` files prefer being processed by `cpphs`
 instead of GHC's built-in CPP. (Most people probably just use `{-#
 LANGUAGE CPP #-}` in a `.hs` for the latter anyway.)
