Ha, it works indeed!
```cpp
extern export __gshared static int var;

That's a declaration worthy of C++ ! Fewer keywords would be
too usable :D
Joking aside, I understood the docs such that `__gshared`
actually *is* `static` in D, no? Also why the `export` when
it's an extern variable?
I agree that __gshared should imply static. That's probably a bug
in the compiler.
Using `extern` without `export` would only work with static
linking (on Windows). `export` without `extern` would be
exporting the variable for others, like `__declspec(dllexport)`
in C++. `export` and `extern` combined imports the variable, like
`__declspec(dllimport)`.
