Thanks kinke.

This article explains the basics:

I'm aware there is very little documentation about this... I lack 
the time to write up more details and promote it better. Now that 
it's released, I hope promotion can be picked up by LDC's users. 
Here is an example of how it can help:

There is definitely room for improvement, but it requires user 
feedback and consideration of their different use cases.
