I imagine that using dcompute this way with DMD for development 
would be popular. For instance, the GPU part might be only a 
small part of a project so you wouldn't want to be forced to use 
LDC the moment the tiniest GPU code is in it.

Once you've ensured everything is working correctly, you might 
add something about this to the wiki, or whatever.
