Hi Caridy,
I think you misunderstood my comment about
import * from ‘./foo’
I am aware of
import * as foo from ‘./foo’
and that is fine. My former example is the desire to have `foo`’s exports
injected as-is into the module’s scope (bar vs foo.bar, etc.). There are times
where this is desirable, wherein enumerating { bar1, bar2, bar3, barN... } is
just a waste of time and maintenance headache.
As for refactoring hazards I can appreciate that JavaScript has a lot more to
protect against than strongly typed languages. Refactoring in JavaScript is
generally unsafe for any number of reasons.
