[Lexicog] come as preposition

[Pamela Munro]

Huddleston and Pullum's Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, which
is certainly more than dictionary-like in its scope and depth (highly
recommended to all of you if you don't know it) says "it is plausible to
suggest that come has been reanalysed as a preposition" (p. 636 -- this
is only 1/3 of the way through this book...).
