Preprocess files are beeing ignored

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

dotnet new
mkdir compiler
mkdir compiler/preprocess
echo "bang" > compiler/preprocess/test.cs
dotnet restore && dotnet build

Expected behavior

The build should blow up, or warn that preprocessing is not supported, not just silently ignore stuff. What is the roadmap for preprocessing? There seems to be a distinct lack of information around this.

Actual behavior

Build is successful, prepreocess sources are ignore, there are no warnings or errors.
