:You have a point, but by processing the actual language, it compares the language's pre-processor facilities and also how hard pre-processing the source is.
:I strongly suspect that the syntax of Algol 68, PL/1 and COBOL (for example) makes the implementation harder than a C pre-processor would be, which was part of my motivation.

:To pre-process Algol 68, PL/1 and COBOL for this task requires some level of lexical analysis, whilst a C pre-processor need only find lines that start with "#include" ( possibly with spaces before and after the "#" ). --[[User:Tigerofdarkness|Tigerofdarkness]] ([[User talk:Tigerofdarkness|talk]]) 18:25, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
