Part of the top programs like Rebel,Tiger or Shredder do it.
Part of the top programs like Junior or Gandalf do not do it.

I am not sure about Fritz.
old versions clearly did it.
Deep Fritz does not do it often but still does it.

I dislike preprocessors because of the fact that I cannot build a tree with the
program and compare the evaluations of the leaves when I analyze and I think
that it is going to be better if the program at least give me an option when I
analyze to use the same pre-evaluation based on the same root position.
