How do I make a home/landing page in markdown with Hugo?

Look, Hugo is for writing static (and blog) sites in markdown. GREAT! How do I create the home page (i.e. not the home post)?!

By home page I mean I want to have some markdown file rendered in my theme at the root: http://example.com/, not http://example.com/home (I will change themes if necessary, but I'm currently using hugo-nuo).

Here's how I'm trying to do it:

add my own layouts/index.html (overriding the theme's)

{{ define "main" }}
  {{ partial "header.html" . }}
  <section class="main">
    WHERE I WISH I COULD IMPORT home.md OR SOME SUCH, HECK I'D BE ALRIGHT JUST PUTTING MARKDOWN HERE
  </section>
  {{ partial "footer.html" . }}
{{ end }}

This incredibly long thread seems to discuss a bunch of issues that've been addressed, but I don't see this answer.

This answer says to use shortcodes. I'm willing to do that, but it looks like shortcodes can only be used from within content (citation needed).

You can add a _index.md into the folder content/ and access it, e.g. via {{ .Content }}.
