Most people realized that abusing the *C* preprocessor for languages other
than C/C++ was a mistake, some ten years ago when ANSI specified that the C
preprocessor must actually understand the C language.
The fact that GNU C still allowed it to sort-of work for other languages is
something of a happy accident, not a natural law or an obligation on
anyone's part.
