"import *"

# John Lenz (11 years ago)

As per www.2ality.com/2014/09/es6-modules-final.html, www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.2ality.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fes6-modules-final.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHrAwyLFF0tL0Lfh38xylgEjmgB2g, "import *" is back (but not in the spec) but I didn't see any discussion about mitigating the problem of new exports breaking down stream consumers (shadowing globals or creating duplicate definitions for module local definitions).

Is the post accurate? Were these issues debated?

import * as m from './file.js'

Imports module instance object. It only creates one binding, m in the example above.

ah, thanks. That makes more sense.
