Yeah we discussed that back in Amsterdam 2019. It seemed a reasonable
idea then.
I had a go at implementing it:
https://github.com/leonerd/perl5/tree/module
It's a little out-of-date at the moment but I suspect it can be updated
quite easily

both seem good ideas.
I especially like the `:export` attribute - that's always struck me as
a much nicer way to do things than the current OHMYGODTHEHACK that is
Exporter.pm.
As a Pre-RFC I like this idea. If nobody else has any huge "absolutely
no because ${^SOLID_REASON}" I suggest writing it up as a full RFC.
