That's why much as I might find some kind of preprocessing distasteful
and certainly don't want to watch it degenerate into the unholy mess
that you have with C, I think we need *some* mechanism for conditional
compilation.
Those who argue that it should all be isolated with different package
bodies have to address the fact that a) this is often difficult or
impossible and b) it implies some kind of configuration management or
build utilities that are totally outside the scope of the language and
may not exist.
I'd like to be able to hand off a collection of source code and say
"This is the main program - just compile it from there on your
machine..." If it involves different bodies, I've got to provide you
with detailed build instructions and can't assume you've got the same
tools as I do. All that gets fixed automagically if I could put some
conditional compilation statements into the code that indicate which way
to go based on some kind of directive to the compiler. (I don't trust
something in the package System to be sufficient - that at best can only
tell you about the compiler, but not necessarily about the external
platform and its potential variations.)
