In any case, we have been telling people for years that if they
want a macro processor they should use something like "m4" rather
than rely on cpp.
Were UNIX the only environment to be considered, m4 could be considered
a tolerable macro processor. But include non-UNIX systems, and the
*only* macro processor that comes close to being ubiquitous and a de
facto standard is the one described by K&R. This is why it's a loss
that the standardization of C wasn't accompanied by the standardization
of C's preprocessor as a stand-alone program.
