Default exports, without explicit syntactic support

[Axel Rauschmayer]

(I’m happy with David’s proposal, but I’d like to try bikeshedding one more time.)

Building on an idea by Kevin Smith: how about supporting default exports without any explicit syntactic constructs? The convention would be: the name `"_"` is used for default exports. The following is a single-export module.

```js
// lib/MyClass.js - alternative A
export const _ = class {
    ...
};
// lib/MyClass.js - alternative B
export class _ {
    ...
}

// main.js
import { _ as MyClass } from "lib/MyClass";
```

Importing a multi-export module:

```js
import fs from "fs";

fs.renameSync('foo.txt', 'bar.txt');
```
