If we are asking questions: why two parse goals? Why not allow import in
Script and let it act like the code was wrapped in Loader.import() and
allow export then just ignore it?  The semantics of 'var' would be changed
by appearance of 'import' just like the semantics of code changes with the
appearance of 'use strict'.
