No, that's a bad idea. I fully agree; it's still very useful with `-fvisibility=hidden` to only export what you really want (e.g., in order to quite likely shrink the final size of executables and plugin libs considerably) without the blunt export-everything method (which is nice for libraries like druntime and Phobos).

Will -fvisibility=public support be upstreamed into dmd? If yes, it might be worth it to get rid of export as a keyword out right in a DIP (as it introduces the possibility of linker errors that would otherwise not need to exist).
