Can I avoid "#include <iostream>" being preprocessed ?

[aachenhang]

If I don't want to preprocess the "#include" and instead want to simply copy it to the output file, what can I do?

Typically you put your include directives in

#hdr
copied verbatim to top of header file
#end

or

#src
copied verbatim to top of cpp file
#end

Note you can put these lines anywhere in the lzz file. Include directives outside these blocks are processed by lzz -- but just to pull in macros. You might want to do this if you have macros that expand to function or class definitions for example.

Since it seems like this is a very common pattern, would you be open to an abbreviated syntax that only takes up a single line?

#src #include "foo.h"
#src include "foo.h"
#srcinclude "foo.h"

or similar?

Yeah, kind of neat. Could say anything after #src goes to source file .. last 2 options could just be special case of the first.
