Whenever I try to use MessageBoxA then I get a linking error that 
the symbol cannot be found.

I am importing core.sys.windows.windows.

What else am I missing?

The exact error:

```
lld-link: error: undefined symbol: MessageBoxA
 referenced by ...\source\client\source\main.d:24
               
 ...\~master\build\application-debug-FMqG_QyKCCZMqpWApQaoww\....obj:(WinMain)



Error: linker exited with status 1
```

I have no idea whether it should be automatically linked with it, 
but it requires User32.lib

pragma(lib, "user32"); should work, otherwise it must be provided 
via linker flags.
