The following C code is rejected: ``` extern int x = 3; ``` Error: variable `a.x` extern symbols cannot have initializers As far as I can tell this is legal C, if unidiomatic.

`extern int x = 3;` at file scope should be treated the same as `int x = 3;`. Section 6.9.2 defines the rules and has an example.
