extern is used both as a storage class and as a linkage attribute. Although both are documented they should be linked to one another and example code should be provided to avoid any confusion between the two.

There is still an error in the docs in the part that says: " D conventions are: extern (D): or: extern: " The last "or: extern:" should be removed because that syntax is interpreted as the storage class, not linkage ?
