Hm, true. With "@... in Java" I meant @override annotations directly in front
of a function. Strictly speaking these are not comments.

Do other agree to add a
+ dsAttribute
that is supposed to be used in code for this reason (also for C++ __*__)?

Or we use dsAnnotation in code, and additionally include dsCommentCommand.
Preferences?

Yes, other languages exist that have it, too. For instance, m4 is a well-known
preprocessor.

@others: being a well-known construct, any objections to
+ dsPreprocessor?

As of now, dsFunction can be used for everything that is a function. For
instance, def blabla in Python.
dsDataType is a type that is used for arbitrary data in other .xml files (grep
dsDataType *.xml in the xml folder).
