I agree, and importing as a namespace is what ModuleImport is all about.
Crazy idea: what if we had this:
// ModuleImport: import Identifier from StringLiteral
import fs from "fs";
import url from "url";
And just got rid of the default monkey-business? Simple, no confusion, no
refactoring hazards.
Do we *really* need assignable default exports? If we could jettison that
feature, it would (as John points out) make all of this pain go away.
