Easy. The changes would be:
ImportDeclaration:
import ModuleSpecifier ;
import ImportList FromClause ;
ImportSpecifier:
ImportedBinding
IdentifierName as ImportedBinding
* as ImportedBinding
ExportDeclaration:
export * FromClause ;
export ExportList[NoReference] FromClause ;
export ExportList ;
export VariableStatement
export Declaration
// ImportClause removed
// NamedImports removed
// ExportClause removed
Overall, this would a huge simplification for the module syntax and a win
for users. All those curlies become tiring on the eyes.
