Right. I am tired of it, too. I am ready to concede that there are /enough/ of these people around that it is a real problem for some Haskell users. For me things are exactly the opposite: as a Haskell preprocessor, using cpphs is the much safer option compared to CPP. History has shown that e.g. the gcc developers change cpp's behaviour in ways that are incompatible with using cpp for anything other than C or C++, even if that means interpreting the C standard in quite a liberal way. I would very much like to be able to use cpphs as a drop-in replacement for cpp and to be able to change the default cpp in a ghc configuration file, rather than at compile time (so I can still use a ghc packaged for my distro).
