Do you know what else is missing for ValidateTechnique()?

Replying to myself: the return values mentioned in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb205835(v=vs.85).a...
give some ideas (although E_FAIL is not in the list, figures...)

I did not test it thoroughly, but also viewed a long list of 
possible specific return values in MSDN.

And yes, ironically, it does not list any special return value for 
incompatible shader, and returns E_FAIL which is not listed, while I 
suppose it might be the most common case in practice when application 
can depend on ValidateTechnique().
