Also without *.def file exported `extern(C)` symbols are prefixed with `_` and
require this prefix when obtained with GetProcAddress.

DMD should ether reject compiling DLL without module definition file or tell
optling that output is a library.

If there are reasons not to change current behavior, this trap should be
mentioned on top of dll.html (preferable in red color) and all D IDE developers
should be notified about this issue and catch such case on IDE level.
