sorry guys, was getting confused on VariableStatement vs
AssignmentExpression, gist is updated with correct examples, I guess it
seems somewhat overly complicated having 4 different ways to export things
each with their own arbitrary restrictions which leads to weirdness, e.g.
if you want to export an array as `foo` you could do
```js
export let foo = [stuff];
```
but if foo was already defined you probably wouldn't want to do that, but
you wouldn't be able to do this (I believe).
```js
//bad
export { [stuff] as foo}
```
as you can only use identifierNames or identifierReferences here even
though they are going to be discarded, so
```js
let _foo = [stuff];
export { _foo as foo };
```
would be the only way
the other thing is on second thought more of an issue with imports not
being expressions, yes this code might be an edge case
```js
let app = module.exports = require('express')();
```
but it's from in the wild code, slightly less ridicules example would be
```js
var projs = [
require('./projections/merc'),
require('./projections/longlat')
];
```
is there a reason import ModuleSpecifier can't be an expression which
evaluates to either an object with all the imports or the default export
when it's used as an AssignmentExpression (I think I'm using that one
right).
