[Bug translator/11096] New: Getting global module vars in functions

["mjw at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

It is often convenient to grab a global variable value in a function. But
currently you cannot do that, so you have to grab it in a probe handler and
store it globally or pass it to the function invocation (then you can use the
address of this variable and @cast(var "struct", "module") to extract the
information in the function).

Possible syntax: @global($var, "module")
