I thought Hugs does support preprocessing, with the -F option?

The usual cpp macros are:

    __HASKELL98__		# supports at least the '98 standard
    __GLASGOW_HASKELL__		= 504, 602, etc
    __HUGS__
    __NHC__
    __HBC__

You might also occasionally see

    __HADDOCK__		# for documentation-only preprocessing
    __HAT__		# for the Hat tracer
