Great work!

I'm just wondering about the -nothrow switch name:

"Adding the -nothrow switch to the compiler causes the stack 
unwinders to not be added and enables the optimizations. This 
capability is already there for -betterC code, this would just 
enable it for regular D code."

Why is it named nothrow if what it's really doing is not adding 
the unwinders?
A nothrow switch could imply it's doing something in relationship 
to nothrow, which it doesn't (unless it's secretly enforcing 
nothrow in the codebase).
