The patch was for the 4.13 tarball.
I'm installing the 5.0pre1 tarball and will post an updated patch.
The question is do we want to drop the * export support from 5
altogether.
Working with the export list is painful without some syntax support. You
end up repeating every identifier name otherwise.
How about a pair of syntax called export-all and export-none (or
similar). Every definition lexically after export-all up to a export-none
is exported and vice-versa.
The * module export would mean an initial export-all.
