Description
I believe that given the binary format today there's not actually any means by which a core module type could be exported. I think this is because type exports always look up in the component type index space.
That being said I also am not sure why one would need to do this, so I mostly wanted to open this up as a possible "hole" in the binary encoding so we could explicitly decide one way or another.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the binary format rules for exports and the component type index space described in the issue; done means the project records an explicit decision about exporting core module types and updates the specification or encoding if needed.
