I've recently run into a problem using the preprocessor (ghc -cpp). It seems it barfs on 's (apostrophe). Annoying, since naming variables something-prime is a fairly common idiom.

Is this something that has a workaround, or could be fixed?

The main workaround if using traditional cpp is to avoid apostrophes. :-(

And this, of course, is one reason why it is good if it is easy to run CPP only on those files where it is necessary. (Unless everyone uses "cpphs", then, which ultimately would seem like a good idea.)
