Preprocess code before checking safety

Apparently GHC checks safety (as safe Haskell) before preprocessing. This is sometimes undesirable; for example:

#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 702
import Foreign.Safe
#else
import Foreign
#endif

Not sure if preprocessing will break the design of safe Haskell, but if it won't I hope GHC can accept this code as safe.
