Because at the time that ANSI was in the middle of developing the
standard, so far as I could tell, all existing substantially complete
implementations of K&R's C provided a way of doing preprocessing only.

(Actually, VAX/VMS was a near-exception, but then again, VAX/VMS is
*always* a near-exception to *everything*.)
