--- Comment #2 from Adam D. Ruppe <destructionator at gmail.com> ---
Just quickly looking at the source: the compiler seems to treat .dd files
identically as .d files. In any D file, if it starts with "Ddoc", it is
processed as a gigantic documentation comment by dmodule.parse. (You can rename
any random .dd file to .d and run it through the compiler to see this yourself
btw).

So for this to change, mars.d would have to tell dmodule.d that the file had
the .dd extension, or otherwise treat it specially compared to other D files.
Then the first few bytes can be stripped, if present, and you take it from
there.
