You can check the whole formal grammar of C++ processing on page 307 of the 
standard. The "language proper" is a term I could not find in that document. 
Can you give me the page of that document that describes this "language 
proper"? 
A source file in C++ has according to the definition in the standard no 
preprocessor run on it. They are then converted to "translation units" through 
a number of steps which also includes preprocessing. This preprocessing is 
completely and formally defined in the language

Here's what Simon Peyton Jones, John Hughes, Phillip Wadler and Paul Hudak have 
to say about the Haskell Module Sytem:
"The module system is a namespace control mechanism, nothing more and nothing 
less"
"The result is a module system distinguished by its modesty. It does about as 
little as is possible for a language to do and still call itself a practical 
programming tool"
I think your time is better spent explaining to them what a sophisticated tool 
they have created.

Yes, I obviously need all the help I can get.
