All Known Implementing Classes:

PreProcessingStrategy.GenericAdvancedPreProcessingStrategy, PreProcessingStrategy.GenericGeneralPreProcessingStrategy
```
public interface PreProcessingStrategy
```
A construct to specify a named set of preprocessing steps.

The preprocessors are executed in list order. The Stringifier can be set to allow for special output processing or tokenising.
