💻 Code

constfoo=1;export{fooas"bar"};

🙁 Actual behavior

This fails to compile because of theas "bar" in theexport statement.

🙂 Expected behavior

This should compile and allow string name aliases.

Additional information about the issue

String name import/export aliases should be allowed by the ts compiler. They are valid javascript (see thesyntax section of the MDN page inexports).
