It looks like that text is what's used as the default arguments for the 
program at the top of the front page, but as far as I can tell, there's no way 
to actually see that text without looking at the page's source, so the fact 
that Google is showing it is rather funny. I do kind of wonder why Google 
grabbed that instead of the "The D pro­gram­ming lan­guage. Mod­ern con­ve­
nience. Mod­el­ing power. Na­tive ef­fi­ciency." at the top of the page though. 
Maybe it doesn't grab headers? In either case, it does make the google search 
a bit weird.
