who export global variables should be burned at the stake anyway, why 
should we make it even easier? Anyhow, if the user really, really wants 
to get himself immolated and export a TLS variable, he can always 
manually write the thunk (it is, after all, trivial).

In my opinion it should be possible to add "export:" to the top of every 
source file and then compiler a dynamic library which exatcly behaves 
like a static library. If you don't want TLS variables in interfaces 
this should also be forbidden for interfaces of static libraries, 
because this isn't really any difference. This really should be 
consistent. Either TLS variabels are not allowed at all within library 
interfaces or they are allowed and supported always.
