module specification for variables

I'd like to have a global variable in a module but it must be
accessed by the module name outside of the module.
Sort of like a static variable in a class.
private blocks it completely and public will allow it to be
imported in to the global scope. Haven't tried protected but I
assume that is meaningless.
Basically it is a sort of module initialization variable that
only needs to be set once(usually) outside the module. So I do
not want it to be imported in to other modules scope in any way,
ever(there is no need so why create potential issues).
module x;
special int X; // special = some keyword that makes this work as
I intend. e.g., "no_import int X;"
module y;
void main()
{
import x;
x.X = 3;
// X = 3; fails.
}
I know you can say that one can used a named import and all that
but that isn't the point(I want all the other stuff imported as
it would be)
I could create a static class, for example, and go through
that... but seems like a hoop to jump through.
