 ### Optimizer
 
-*Note:* The optimizer is still under development.
+The optimizer is a collection of code transforms, or "passes".
+Transforms are written for a diverse set of reasons:
 
-Currently supported optimizations:
+* To restructure, simplify, or normalize the code for further processing.
-* General
+* To eliminate undesirable code.
+* To improve code quality in some metric such as size or performance.
+  **Note**: These transforms are not guaranteed to actually improve any
+  given metric. Users should always measure results for their own situation.
+
+As of this writing, there are 67 transforms including examples such as:
+* Simplification
   * Strip debug info
+  * Strip reflection info
 * Specialization Constants
   * Set spec constant default value
-  * Freeze spec constant
+  * Freeze spec constant to default value
   * Fold `OpSpecConstantOp` and `OpSpecConstantComposite`
   * Unify constants
   * Eliminate dead constant
