Having two "features" which can't be used together in the same file
seems ridiculous. It gets much worse if you decide "ghc --make -cpp"
is the way you want to build your application, as we used to do for
Yhc. I suggest that if string gaps don't get removed, then GHC should
fix its -cpp flag.

Thanks
