Yes that is right. One of these issues is the Runtime.unload bug
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15443

The wiki page https://wiki.dlang.org/Win32_DLLs_in_D has an 
example in which the function
gc_getProxy and gc_setProxy is used the inject the garbage 
collector. The example shows only this behavior in the static 
linked case but not in the dynamically linked case. For the 
dynamically linked case, there is an error. Ian Hatch found out 
same more information

In general the "export" work of Benjamin Thaut is also highly 
interesting
