[wix-devs] Preprrocessor Issue

I am working on issue 4770 and I thought I was nearly done, but I've run 
into a thorny issue. If I file it as a bug, I still won't know which way 
to go with 4770.

What warning would you expect to get if you add the following 
preprocessor code into a stable substrate?

<?define x abc?>
<?define y "abc"?>
<?if $(var.x) = $(var.y)?>
     <?warning x == y?>
<?else ?>
     <?warning x != y?>
<?endif ?>

Fixing this might have many unintended consequences. I don't want to 
bias your response by saying too much
about this yet.

Ron
