The preprocessor doesn't break C into the tokens you
describe.  Basically, all it knows about are preprocessor
directives (starting with #), words, and other characters.
The preprocessor doesn't know anything about keywords
or the grammar.

I think you have fallen (and we with you) into the trap of
your telling us about how you want to solve some problem,
without telling us what the problem is.  So every solution
is going to get the response "thanks, but that is what
I need".

If you want help with a problem, describe the problem.
