gcc-cpp 2.1 refuses the following input:
'
It says:

:1: unterminated string or character constant

I do not mean it is a bug, but it makes gcc-cpp use unpossible
except for c-family languages. cpp is used by many other tools
other than c compilers. Just one (important) example: imake. I
have numerous other examples.
The behavior regarding simple quotes is all the more disturbing
as the quote is used by some object-oriented languages to perform
a call to a method.
Did I miss some option ? I don't see anything helping in the man.
