>I have a good bit of experience coding ES modules, and I was worried about that at first. But hasn't been a problem for me. Then again, I'm just one person - it would be good to get more data from developers actually coding with ES modules. This syntax would make things completely obvious and simple though: if there's curly braces, then you're reaching into the bag and pulling out things, and if there's no curly braces, you're getting the bag itself. There's even a visual analogy at play here: the curly braces themselves resemble the sides of a bag.
