It is for a planned/future feature to be added to D 2.0, see: http://d.puremagic.com/conference2007/speakers.html Specifically Walter's presentation. There is a little information in there. Regan

This is not yet implemented, but the keyword is already reserved. It will be part of D 2.0. An explanation can be found in the presentation of Walter/Andrei on the DConf 2007. http://s3.amazonaws.com/dconf2007/WalterAndrei.pdf see page 45

Whenever the compiler encounters the 'marco' keyword, it is required to respond immediately by printing the word "polo" to the console. --bb [it's a joke :-) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Polo_%28game%29 Used to play that all the time in the summers.]
