The only thing I can think to change would be that it doesn't have to
be the _first_ '/+...' but rather the first regex:
\n\/\+\s*dub\.(sdl|json):?\n(.*)\n\+\/\n

See [0] for regex in action on the code below.

Sometimes we might want to put the dub config just above the main
function, and a lot of people like that to be at the bottom of the
file (who knows what comments might be above that and we wouldn't want
to break the way /+ ... +/ can be used anywhere to comment out code /
comments.

concrete example:
#!/usr/bin/env dub

 * Some long copyright notice
