I'm doing C bindings and I have an opaque struct and an extern'd

complaining that the struct has no definition (which is true). 
Making it a pointer works (expected) but i can't do that because 
the interface is expecting an full struct.

Adding __gshared doesn't help.

I assume this is bug, since usage of extern means that I don't 
need to know the size, since it will be allocated in the C code, 
not the D code.

This doesn't work:

struct Foo;
extern (C) extern Foo foo;
