Unfortunately, there is no debug information about the current module 
scope. To watch globals, you need to specify them fully qualified (with 
module and package name, e.g. "pkg.module.var"). Depending on the 
debugger engine, you'll have to replace '.' with '@'.

Static variables inside extern(D) functions are supported in mago, 
because the scope can be extracted from the function name.
