Hi!

I just stumbled across what seems like a misunderstanding on my 
side about these keywords. Can someone help clarify these for me?

```
__gshared static int foo;
__gshared int foo;
```

What are the storage and semantic differences between those two, 
if any?

Cheers,

These are the same, __gshared overrides static.

Surely, prohibiting non-functioning attributes is good when it's obvious 
that they do nothing.

BUT... there is an issue:

static: __gshared int x;

Should this be an error? I believe inside the compiler, the reason 
unused attributes are ignored are because this is handled the same way, 
and making it error would make all of them error. But that's kind of a 
guess.
