          Issue ID: 24447
           Summary: ImportC: extern symbols cannot have initializers
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

The following C code is rejected:

```
extern int x = 3;
```

Error: variable `a.x` extern symbols cannot have initializers

As far as I can tell this is legal C, if unidiomatic.
