FWIW, most quickie syntactic sugar extensions that are confined to single
lines of code work seamlessly with twt. I use pa_compr all the time, for
example. I think open_in and try...finally are currently problematic, but if
they do become some kind of de facto standard then I would have no problem
hacking them into this already-badly-hacked preprocessor. In the future,
someone needs to do twt right; it works well enough for me right now that I
have no motivation to do so.
