Actually, the mechanics would be pretty simple. Determining when you want
to do this (on a local or wiki-wide basis) could be a real issue.
I'll look for a better way, but as a temporary measure, you can get this
(globally) by patching includes/Article.php in function replaceSection():

Well, that would completely muck up any text at the top and also how
would you decide where it gets cut off (a new magic word maybe).

Really? I've thought about this too, as it would be very useful.
I don't know much about the MW code, so I thought it should be as easy
as changing
$pageContents = $pageContents + $newComment;
to
$pageContents = $newComment + $pageContents;
(that's pseudo-code, obviously)
Guess I was a bit naive then...
