 HaRe sets `Opt_KeepRawTokenStream` to be able to round trip the source
 code.

 If we have a module starting

 {{{#!hs
 {-

 A normal comment, to check if we can still pick up the CPP directive after
 it.

 -}
 {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-}
 -- Check that we can parse a file which requires CPP
 module BCpp where
 bob :: Int -> Int -> Int
 #if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ > 704
 bob x y = x + y
 #else
 bob x y = x + y * 2
 #endif

 }}}

 then the call to `loadTargets` via the GHC API fails with

 `SourceError (lexical error at character 'i'` which is the normal error
 when `#if` is hit and CPP is not enabled.

 If `Opt_KeepRawTokenStream` is not set it loads without problems.

 Also, files using CPP but not having a top comment load properly too.
