I don't particularly like that idea.  Clearly both versions are buggy,
just in different ways.  The original code would require an explanation
of how to quote arguments and it's quite clear that the over 10 year old
addition of --preprocessor-arg was intended to get around this very
thorny problem.  The latest change is in line with that earlier change
and just missed the documentation update.


Regards,
Achim.
