Having two "features" which can't be used together in the same file seems ridiculous. It gets much worse if you decide "ghc --make -cpp" is the way you want to build your application, as we used to do for Yhc. I suggest that if string gaps don't get removed, then GHC should fix its -cpp flag.
GHC is unlikely to "fix" its -cpp flag unfortunately, because the problem is with CPP, not GHC. The best we can do is document the problem, which we have done.
Couldn’t you “fix” the -cpp flag by letting GHC use cpphs instead of C’s cpp?
