I'm pretty sure loading the exported symbols of global variables works the same way, they'd just be pointers to data instead of to code.
```d __gshared int* foreignLib_some_integer; //to load:foreignLib_some_integer = cast(int*)loadSymbol(foreignLib, "foreignLib_some_integer");
//using in your code:
if(*foreignLib_some_integer == 10){
//etc.
}
```
