Description

The slides mention that:

If the semantics of export default from 'some-module' was to only export a default if the module exports it, would it solve the use case? The main difference with the export ** approach is that you'd have to remain explicit on which module the default is from instead of the magic "the one of the multiple 'export from' that defines it"

Research direction

Start with issue #2 and the linked TC39 export-default-from proposal. Compare the proposed conditional export default from semantics with the existing export * behavior and the stated generic proxy-module use case. Done means the proposal's semantics and compatibility implications are clearly resolved, not just discussed.
