I like to use some commands from the Visual D tool set for other
languages, too. For example I can't work without "Search file", though
the Solution Explorer has something similar, but way too slow and
inaccessible. Having "Compile and Run/Debug" available is also useful
for small D programs without having to create a project.
I understand that having an additional menu entry with multiple
extensions can take away too much space, but I don't know a way that you
can set things up to make it disappear automatically. I guess that will
be the task of Visual D itself. I'll add it to the todo list...
