I'd agree with that. Thinking about it, for completeness you'd almost
need a full implementation of the C preprocessor. I'm not sure what that
would involve, but it doesn't sound easy to me. Perhaps free access to
the preprocessor was the reason C was used for c2ada.

Perhaps one could cheat a little by requiring the code to first be sent
through the C preprocessor.
