I recall others being confused; probably an informative note in the spec would help.

I looked into it in more details and I seem to have been mistaken. "*default*" is just internal spec name that is needed for hoisting FunctionDeclaration and to create the required anonymous binding.

    It used to be the case that `export default` was just syntactic
    sugar for exporting something with the name "default".

    export default 42;

    was the same as

    const x = 42;
    export {x as default};

    More importantly this symmetry was very useful on the import side
    as well as when reexporting default exports.

    export {default} from './m.js'

    The above line now requires a local binding.

    import tmp from './m.js';
    export default tmp;

    I don't know why this was changed or if this was discussed anywhere?
