http://www.digitalmars.com/d/statement.html#asm says the following:

      The format of the instructions is, of course, highly dependent on
      the native instruction set of the target CPU, and so is
      implementation defined. But, the format will follow the following
      conventions:

         * It must use the same tokens as the D language uses.
         * The comment form must match the D language comments.
         * Asm instructions are terminated by a ;, not by an end of
           line.

     These rules exist to ensure that D source code can be tokenized
     independently of syntactic or semantic analysis.

Note the second requirement: the asm syntax must use D comment syntax.
Curiously, it doesn't mention braces though. A small oversight maybe?
