I doubt anyone uses that. Why not just chuck it too?
(Unless you see something blatantly obvious that I don't, I think
putting traditional mode back into cpplib will be far more trouble
than it's worth... the remaining users of traditional preprocessing
will have our ears if we change the output format even slightly, and
we'd have to complicate cpplib quite a bit to make it preserve format
that carefully.)
