But you still want it to *behave* like a preprocessor directive. So...
why should it *not* look like one? Sounds like you want some form of
false advertising.

But it *isn't* "regular C++ code". It's preprocessor code. Also, C++
doesn't care about whitespace; you can indent preprocessor directives
if you like.
