Cog-world seems to have only the cPreprocessorDirective: version and no uses of it; plain-interp-world has both and has no uses of cPre? and a single 'real' use of preprocessorExpression: and a single 'testing' usage.

Indeed they are pointlessly different. The last one (#cPreprocessorDirective:) is
one of Eliot's variants that I put into trunk for convenience in merging code from
oscog into trunk.

I think that comes from an externally managed repository (not VMM trunk/oscog).
I have not paid much attention to it, but as far as I know the added foibles
seem to be working.
