Instead of adding the selector syntaxsyntax you could reuse pragma mangle.

"atIndex")
     void insertItem(ObjcObject object, NSInteger value);
}

Alternatively a compiler recognized UDA would work too.

     @objcSel!("insertItemWithObjectValue", "atIndex")
     void insertItem(ObjcObject object, NSInteger value);

Changing the lexer and parser would affect all D language tools
(editors, formatters, linters, other compilers). So now that we do have
UDAs I don't see a justification for changing the syntax and grammar of D.

Seems like a fair point, I guess I could change that. I prefer using a 
UDA for this.
