Don't worry, I think you managed to answer it anyway.

That explains it. I thought that since the dip says "should" and
dmd currently does not do it (interpreting `extern int*` as
`@system`), I thought it was explaining what the DIP will do. My
misunderstanding, though changing a few words might be in order
to avoid this confusion.
