(It’s probably too late to change anything on this API, but I’ll try to give my thoughts anyways)
I see where you are coming from, but I don’t think your proposed API is actually desirable.
The way your API works is _magic_ (implicitly registering an export — or all exports— as a paint class). What happens if I export a constant? Or a function? What if I want to share this module and only a subset of exports are actually paint classes?
The behavior that you describe can be built on top of the current API, so what we currently have is a low-level primitive that allows to build your more high-level approach.
```js
const painters = await import('./your-painter-module.js');
for(const [name, painter] of Object.entries(painter))
registerPaint(name, painter);
```
