This cannot be an invariant section as defined by the GFDL, because the
GFDL says that an invariant section must be a secondary section, and a
secondary section must be a named appendix. A source comment is not a
named appendix.
Such a document would have to be licensed under a license other than the
GFDL.
That said, I understand the motivation of Osamu's proposal, and I would
consider invariant comments to be more acceptable than invariant
portions of the documentation. (Of course, the line again gets a bit
blurred when you consider documentation generated from the comments.)
But I don't know whether I would consider it free or not.
