I think under Draft Standard
#pragma sacrosanct
    a = (b + c) 
#pragma ~sacrosanct
is intended.

My objection to this is that it overloads the preprocessor semantics
for something inherently later in the process.
Not too serious a problem but I think it could have been avoided.
Just introducing pragma as a reserved word and using
pragma sacrosanct;
    a = (b + c) 
pragma ~sacrosanct;
appeals to me.
