In essence, it's a *demonstration* that with all of D's features combined, one can write a fwicked-optimized compiler at compile time in D.
He's also working towards it being Agner Fog's ideal of optimal; and is taking the right steps to do it. Agner Fog is quite respected for his work in the x86 family of assembly; and previously I haven't seen any program that can *generate* code sufficiently well to approach his optimal assembly source.
