It's an attribute. I'm talking specifically about the `@extern(syscall, <num>)` attribute that let's you make an system call and bind it under a name without having any library linked or without having to write any assembly. Is this possible in D?

I'd be very easy to do that as a library mixin. You'd write

@syscall(45) void whatever();

mixin BindSyscalls;

and then the library generates the bodies as inline asm.
