extern intended behavior?

Look at the following source files(main.d and test.d):
// main.d ----------------------
extern
{
void MyFunction();
}
void main(char[][] args )
{
MyFunction();
}
// test.d ----------------------
import std.stdio;
void MyFunction()
{
writefln("Hello World");
}
compiles fine, but linker complains:
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D4main10MyFunctionFZv
--- errorlevel 1
It appears the linker expects the extern function to be in the 'main'
module. This appears to be incorrect behavior. If it isn't why such a
departure from a common C idiom(lex and yacc).
Am I missing something?
