I think ReadListFile would be the place to put in a hook like that. It can help report when it loads a file generated by something else earlier in the configuration process. There are good reasons to delay export() until generate time regardless of what other features it enables. Please try to work this out as an independent topic first. Then you can base the additional genex work on it but we can merge it separately depending on timing for the next release.
