Yeah, but ‘load dmd foo.scm’ also looks weird, after all.

As long as it’s clear that it’s Smalltalk-style message passing, and
that ‘root’ is that special service, that’s fine, IMO.
Now that I think of it, since a service can provide several things, we
could simply change dmd-service to have:
#:provides '(root shepherd)
Thoughts?
