Apart from the naming of the VMS file, this could actually be read by a
separate program if placed into comments, like so:

*%title: Blah blah
*%description: Argle blargle
*%checksum: SEGA

etc. Then it would be ignored by the assembler, and some other program
could extract the info and create a VMI file. It would also have have
the opportunity to look at the generated .vms file to get total file
size etc.
