I can see that, and thanks for the field report! Basically the summary is,
any time you want a default export object (as opposed to a function or
class, where you have `export default class` and `export default function`
shorthands) that you also want to refer to internally in the module that
defines it, you'll end up needing a two-liner:

```js
var o = { ... };
export default o;
```

If you only need the properties of the object, not the object itself, one
style you can use is to name all the property values with local variables
but not the object itself:

```js
function foo(...) { ... }
function bar(...) { ... }
var baz = ...;
...
export default { foo, bar, baz };
```

So obviously “merging” concept doesn’t apply when default is involved, and

No worries. JFTR, as I alluded to above, if you're exporting a function or
class, you *do* get the merging:

```js
export default class Foo {
  ...
}
var x = new Foo(...);
...
```
