The rest of the first line is J words.  They are reserved for future use, where they might give instructions to the interpreter.  If you want to add a comment, you should use NB.  I will audit to make sure the control words is empty for now.

For the non-noun form of DD, the wiki states

If the very first character following the leading delimiter is ), the
first line contains control information and is not part of the entity being
defined.

So apart from the first letter after ), is the rest of the line ignored?
That is essentially a comment?
    a=: {{)m  b=: 4 5
5 + y}}
    a
3 : '5 + y'
    b
|value error: b

The new beta fixes all problems reported in beta-i.  It adds better
display for linear representations and error messages, and most
importantly it implements noun DDs, which are a handy way to define
strings inline containing LFs and mismatched quotes.
