    FYI: the lack of a standard preprocessor is a minor obstacle to
    commercial use. By 'standard' I mean "supplied with the
    main distribution" and the implication is for ease of
    configuration, and integration with other tools.

    As it happens, the lack of a preprocessor doesn't concern _me_,
    since I use a powerful literate programming tool as a code
    generator; however, ocamlyacc is annoying, since it isn't so
    easy to generate #line directives (and it isn't clear these would
    be respected in the generated code). This is mandatory for
    use with any code generator (including my LP tool).
