Personally, still do not see the big benefit for all that work, and I'm still somewhat worried that a mechanism that is not used by default (I'm talking about unliting with an external command) may start to bit rot. But as long as you are commit to keep `-pgmL` intact, I'm ok ;).
A biggy that I had left out has just reoccurred to me. The very first reason for me to look at how unlitting and preprocessing is done in GHC was, because I was looking into what would be required for a refactoring engine (like haRe) to be based on the GHC API. Of course, at the moment, the API doesn't do anything with unlitting and preprocessing.
I think in the end it's best to go with the solution that works best for GHC-HQ.
Still hoping to hear from them ;) Regards, Philip
