CPP is nice when you need a quick-and-dirty solution, but one little
 stumbling block is
 that macros are not expanded when the line contains a single quote
 character (as in function names ending in "prime" - let x' = MACRO x
 in...).

 One solution is of course to break the line between the macro and the
 quote, but it'd be nice to have a CPP that was just a ''bit'' more clever.
