Description
When importing a JS module generated by Gren, the exported applications is available under under a Gren prefix, like so:
Gren.Main.init
The Gren prefix makes sense when we're adding things directly onto the window object in the browser, but makes little sense otherwise.

Research direction
Locate the compiler entry point that generates JavaScript modules and inspect how the exported application is currently named, including the Gren.Main.init example. Determine the intended module export shape, then verify that generated modules expose the application without the Gren prefix while browser window behavior remains understood.
