bug in Debugger

Shouldn't i be able to inspect the value of global variables by hovering it
with the mouse ? Or at least when i drag it into the watch window ?
Instead i have to write a "modulename " in front of it ?

That would be nice, but I doubt it is possible with the VS debugger. It's the
same as global variables inside namespaces in C++: you have write
"namespace::globalVar".
With the mago debugger, it should be possible, but does not work yet. The debug
info generated by the latest dmd beta (2.053) allows to use
"modulename.globVar" instead of the mangled name, though.

This should work now with the mago debugger in 0.3.28, but with a few
restrictions: only in the module of the declaration and not available in
extern(C) functions.
