commit: 13a520d

[schiller-manuel]

thanks for approaching this. we already have very similar code for detecting the normal route exports. we should generalize this so it can be reused for both normal routes and the root route.

[hyungwookchoi]

separated the common logic into utility files and modified the normal routes and root route to enable sharing of that logic.

Small note, seems like the following is currently not supported (not sure if this PR addresses this):

exportconst{ x }=y
