Description
Support `export` statements from the entry point file. This will enable many requested features such as
- import chunking (e.g., [Dynamic Import Support](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1thSbGV5i96jltVwn76KYrPkWoNc-yj_KU3HtBGUCgMc/edit#heading=h.c037si364tjn))
- dynamic import
while giving the user precise control.
Given a file
```javascript
// entry.js
import { m1, m2 } from "./mod"
...
...
export { sym1, ..., symN }
export default symDefault;
```
When compiled with
```shell
google-closure-compiler -O ADVANCED --js mod.js entry.js --entry_point entry.js --module_resolution NODE
```
should output a file containing `export { sym1, ..., symN, symDefault as default}`.
Currently, this behavior can be achieved by assigning each exported symbol to `globalThis` in a preprocessing step and then replacing each such assignment in the compiled file to an export statement in a postprocessing step.
