I had just infered from the commend in the code "The D code to be 
generated is provided as D source code in the form of a string."

then I tried:

	auto s = q{ foo(); return 10 };
	writeln(s);

Then whoa. What a feature! I'm not aware of any language with 
this feature. Amazing.
Thank for your answer as well :)

It is a string literal that must be made out of D code tokens.

In my blog this week, I talked about some code that uses them:

You can see how it syntax highlights as code, but is semantically 
a string. The code inside is passed to mixin, so this hybrid 
appearance works well.
