This currently works; `foo` is `@safe` and prints the value
of `gshared`. Changing the call in main to `foo(gshared)`
errors.
Should it work, and can I expect it to keep working?
According to the manual it shouldn't work at all
https://dlang.org/spec/function.html#function-safety where it
says Safe Functions: "Cannot access __gshared variables.", I
don't know why calling as `foo()` works.
You still wouldn't be able to manipulate gshared within the
function. Though it may still be a problem for @safe...
It works with `ref int` too.
```
__gshared int gshared = 42;
void foo(ref int i = gshared) @safe
{
++i;
}
void main()
{
assert(gshared == 42);
foo();
assert(gshared == 43);
}
```
