Yeah, I like that I can just type 'herd status' now, thanks!
Sometimes I also type 'deco doc dmd list-actions'.

It seemed natural to me to rename 'dmd' service to 'shepherd' service.
But I like 'root' more!  So if people agree on naming the main service
the 'root' instead of 'shepherd', I will send an updated patch.

OTOH 'herd load root foo.scm' looks strange for me.  I would prefer
'herd load foo.scm', but it is a separate issue, I think.
