Rationale for dropping ModuleImport syntax?

[Chris Toshok]

Pirouette also has many exports per module for its bindings:

E.g.
https://github.com/toshok/pirouette/blob/master/bindings/uikit.js.

I use both import-{}-from (with many imported bindings) and module-from forms, tending toward the former in framework code and the latter in application code.

The fact that the both forms can be accommodated from a single export form is the key for me.

If this is true, we should be just fine with specific imports, and for the edge cases, an imperative form should be sufficient.
