I think nobody thought that, we all assumed destructuring into a namespace.
import * as *name* from "*module-name*";
import { *export *} from "*module-name*";
the first is an import "everything" from module and the second destructures
export from the module exports.
import { export } as name from "module" would destructure `export` and save
it as name.export.
It's like having a namespace and use destructuring to address it.
We cannot:
const name = {};
import { export: name.export } from "module"
so that
import { a, b, c } as name from "module"
seems to be the easiest way to go/explain/use namespaces as import.
