Description
If a file with named exports is imported as import * as xxx from './xxx' the rule assumes that all exports of this file have been used.
Would it be possible to report exports that never have been accessed?
Example:
given file-f:
import * as fileG from './file-g'
const x = fileG.a
fileG.b()
and file-g
export const a = 7 // will not be reported
export const b = () => {} // will not be reported
export const c = 5 // will be reported
Of course this can only work as long as a module is not access like this:
import * as fileG from './fileG'
fileG['b']()
In this case the current behaviour would apply and nothing would be reported.
We heavily rely on the import * as __ from __ syntax, so we would rely profit from this change. In any case, thanks a lot for all the effort that went into that plugin already!
