Detailed Description

This component provides an object type canonical_string_h to represent a line of text in a canonically "clean" form, i.e. all comments have been stripped, line-continuations deleted, leading and trailing whitespace stripped and internal whitespace sequences reduced to a single space.

The Canonical String type allows us reduce preprocessor directives to a canonical form in which they can be compared
