I'd like to point out that cpphs is a thing. And that the near term plans for ghc are likely to lean on cpphs.
A huge constraint is that ghc and many other Haskell code bases use cpp, and unless we migrate everything any near term choice will essentially be a Haskell aware cpp.
I don't think anyone want to remove cpp anyhow in a near term. I think this exercise is about offering another preprocessor that would be more suited to preprocess haskell (HPP). Once ghc (or some standard) add this {-# LANGUAGE HPP #-} feature, projects can start migrating to the saner solution in their own time. -- Vincent
