Description
Incompatible flag --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export will be enabled by default in a future Bazel release [1], thus breaking Bazel skylib.
The flag is documented here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/10225
Please check the following CI builds for build and test results:
*
Ubuntu 18.04, OpenJDK 11
*
Ubuntu 16.04, OpenJDK 8
*
Windows, OpenJDK 8
*
macOS, OpenJDK 8
Never heard of incompatible flags before? We have [documentation](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/backward-compatibility.html) that explains everything.
If you don't want to receive any future issues for Bazel skylib or if you have any questions,
please file an issue in https://github.com/bazelbuild/continuous-integration
**Important**: Please do NOT modify the issue title since that might break our tools.
[1] The target release hasn't been determined yet. Our tool will update the issue title once the flag flip has been scheduled.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Bazel incompatible-flag documentation and the four referenced CI builds for Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS. Done means Bazel skylib continues to build and pass its tests when --incompatible_no_implicit_file_export is enabled, but the issue does not identify the affected files or tests.
