Description
### Current behaviour
When re-exporting components from react-native paper, e.g. `export { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper`, the components are not styled using the theme set in the Provider.
Investigating I found that it seemed related to the babel plugin which does not rewrite these imports. I can't explain though why these paths not being re-written is actually causing issues in applying the theme 🤔
### Expected behaviour
```ts
export { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper
```
Should use the theme set in the app's Provider.
And the babel plugin should accurately rewrite the import paths
### How to reproduce?
**With an app (shows the theme issue):**
Latest 'react-native-paper', an app theme which overrides a color for example `onSurface` which is used in TextInput.
`themeProvider.ts`
```ts
const theme = {
...DefaultTheme,
colors: {
...DefaultTheme.colors,
onSurface: 'black',
},
};
export default function Main() {
return (
);
```
`src/components/index.ts`
```ts
export { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper'
```
**In the babel tests of this repo (shows the babel issue):**
I also checked the babel implementation. If you:
1. Add `export { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper';` https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper/blob/main/src/babel/__fixtures__/rewrite-imports/code.js
2. Run tests
3. You see that the test generates an output with `+ export { TextInput } from 'react-native-paper';`, which is not rewritten to the full path. My assumption is that this is what is causing the app them behavior
### Preview
with the re-export:
with the explicit import & then export:
### What have you tried so far?
Adding an explicit import, followed by explicit export
