I have no idea what "not as transparent as the C preprocessor" means, but
note that gnatprep, unlike the C preprocessor, understands Ada tokens and
will pass through arbitrary Ada text without difficulties, unlike the
C preprocessor which will choke on some constructs (such as attributes)
because they do not look like C tokens.
