Module property accessors

💡 Ideas

I can’t find a link but I have a vague memory of someone saying that this would go against a key invariant of JS - that accessed or writing to a variable in strict mode will never run arbitrary code. Apologies if I have made this memory up.

import { x } from 'path';

x++; // this could run arbitrary code

Property access on the other hand has had the possibility of getter/setter behavior since at least ES5.

// config.js
export const config = {
  set theme(t) { ... }
};

import { config } from 'config.js';

config.theme = "dark";
