Well (in C preprocessor), technically between #if 0 / #endif you are
still supposed to have only complete tokens - e.g, no unmatched ' or ".
 However since they're all on different lines from anything non-comment,
and since we have been able to preprocess Haskell with identifier' s
with only minor trouble, I think this actually works fine.
