All,

What evilness would it be to change the use of '#' in the .dts format  
to some other character like '$' or '%'.

Uh, use of '#' for what?  Current comment style is
either C or C++, ie, /* ... */ or //.

  The problem is the use of  
'#' prevents use from using cpp which would make some aspects of  
building up .dts for boards far more useful.

I think to get CPP to be usable, it will need to handle
the # emitted line-location markers, "# <line> <file> <level>".

We can easily provide a one line script to convert people's .dts to  
the new format.

I don't think there is a conversion necessary yet.
Did I miss something here?

Thanks,
