WG1 - Core

description

We define mutating imports to be an error, however
the standard currently says nothing about what
happens when an exported binding is mutated from
within the library where it's defined.

In many common library implementations there
will be no effect (i.e. the import effectively gets
a copy of the original), whereas in a namespace
based implementation the change will be reflected,
so a conservative approach is to add a note saying
the result is unspecified.

The WG voted to reject this proposal and leave the validity of mutating exports unspecified.
