It's just applying a function to a tagged template literal at compile-time instead of run-time, but it doesn't change the semantics of the language. Calling it a one-off language is hyperbole. Think of it as a compiler optimization step. You bring up a good point with the hard-coded name though. Instead of hardcoding in the pragma it should probably check the name in the require. This wouldn't be difficult to add, and the project is only two days old.
