It could be worthwhile to look at supporting the esbuild export patterns in the coming upgrade being upstreamed and backported for Node.js.

As far as I can tell, we could use the following simple patterns for esbuild:

1. Exports

__export(exports, {
  p: () => import_external2.p,
  q: () => q
});

2. Star Exports

__exportStar(exports, __toModule(require("external1")));

@evanw this would be a little bit of work but could be possible to support. Do you forsee these patterns changing or do you think this work would be worthwhile? I would likely be able to get to this next week.
