That reason alone is enough. Restricting DUB special comments to 
only /++/ will put users off, because now they know that there's 
a cool feature in DUB, but it only works with certain types of 
comments, that nobody wants to remember (why should they?), so 
they will decide that this feature is either broken or unfinished 
and will hardly use it at all.

We could make users' lives easier, if we allowed them to just 
specify the dependencies in Gradle style on a single line:

#!/usr/bin/env dub
// dependencies: "color:~>0.0.3", "vibe.d:~>0.7.28"
