It all boils down to direct and indirect evaluation and static contextual information. It can't be an identifier any more than super or this. It can't be passed because it's a different type of evaluation that happens relative to static context, in this case the containing module body.
You can pass access to it by closing over it however.

I think the key question is for interested TC39 members - whether passing it around must be expressly disallowed or allowed. If allowed, `module` is the only choice that won't go against the existing advice against identifiers being keywords (besides being a more suitable name anyway). If it must be expressly disallowed, `import` would be the compromise choice. A use-case for passing it somewhere might be to a static helper function which lives in another module, and which might use the `meta` information, and which carries out the import whose parameter is based on some logic that is repeated throughout the app. Reasons for disallowing this must come from TC39 - till then I'm stumped On Sat, 5 Aug 2017 at 19:10 T.J.
