module bug;

static
{
    __gshared int sa;
    extern(C) __gshared int sb;
}

private
{
    __gshared int pa;
    extern(C) __gshared int pb;
}

----
dmd -c bug.d
nm -c bug.o

output:
0000000000000008 B _D3bug2pai
0000000000000000 B _D3bug2sai
000000000000000c B pb
0000000000000004 B sb

expected output:
0000000000000008 b _D3bug2pai
0000000000000000 b _D3bug2sai
000000000000000c b pb
0000000000000004 b sb
----------------

Either static or private should provide the C's static semantic
of defining a local symbol, i.e. one that can only be accessed
from within the same object file. Probably only useful for
extern(C) as D declarations are scoped by the mangling but
for D it would still shrink the symbol table.
