So do you have a good use cases for this?
If this is a useful feature, the implementation can be improved to be zero-cost for normal runs.

If a GUI button simply executes a function. Tooltip for it could be generated from the function documentation.

About being able to use the documentation comment in mixins, of course it would be an ill recommended thing to do. But I don't think it would become much of an issue since you can hardly do that accidently.

IMO, D can already be used more dangerously than even C++ if you want to: binary imports, string mixins and static ifs can be used for far more sophiscated hacks than the C preprocessor. But it does not matter since they do not encourage or trick anybody to do the said hacks.
