Add home page to a structure? I am using a structure for all of my site's pages (single pages and channel index pages). The structure settings are as follows:

URL for Top-Level Entries:
{slug}

URL for Nested Entries:
{parent.uri}/{slug}

Entry Template:
_pages/_entry.html

Additionally I set up multiple entry types for the structure to relate the pages with individual templates (basically as described in the FAQs). This is my _entry.html:

{% include '_pages/_types/' ~ entry.type %}


This all works great for me [*], but now I'd like to further improve the template setup by adding my site's home page to the structure, too. With a single section I can simply trigger the option "this is the home page" in the section's settings, but how can I tell an entry of my pages structure to be my home page?

[*]: I can generate my site's main navigation from this structure (nice!) and all channels' index pages have entry slugs now, which is incredibly helpful in a multi-lingual Craft setup, if you want to translate your slugs.
This isn't documented, so it's subject to change:

When you set a Single to be the homepage, its slug is automatically set to __home__.

If you want your homepage to be part of a Structure, rather than a separate Single, you can set the slug of a Structure entry to __home__, which makes it act as the site's homepage and gives it that little Home icon in place of its slug in the structure view.
