You probably know this but just in case - unlike C++ in D

```d

__gshared Foo globalFoo;

Yeah, did that. As I said the mangled name that DMD chose is
correct.
As I was told linking against functions in DLLs works perfectly,
because it is identical to static linking. Linking against
global/static variables supposedly differs and that's not handled
correctly for DLLs. As I said, I talked to someone who worked on
fixing lots of those issues a while ago and he immediately knew
about this limitation.
