          Issue ID: 13421
           Summary: disallow __gshared members without static
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD

It's surprising that __gshared members are implicitly static. Example:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/dkqsqyatiwbwyrojpfxb forum.dlang.org

__gshared members without an explicit `static` should be deprecated with an
appropriate message and later disallowed.

(This would also be an excellent candidate for Brian's dfix.)
