It is for a planned/future feature to be added to D 2.0, see:
http://d.puremagic.com/conference2007/speakers.html

Specifically Walter's presentation.  There is a little information in there.

This is not yet implemented, but the keyword is already reserved. It
will be part of D 2.0. An explanation can be found in the presentation
of Walter/Andrei on the DConf 2007.

Whenever the compiler encounters the 'marco' keyword, it is required to respond immediately by printing the word "polo" to the console.
