Hmmm... it seems to me that:

        use Foo;
        our $bar is export := $Foo::bar;

should solve that, no? Now I just want a tied array called @EXPORT that
acts as a macro, adding "is export" to the symbols I put into it ;-)

Seriously, I did kind of like the code-as-documentation pseudo-feature
of seeing all of the exported symbols listed up-front in a module. It's
too  bad Perl 6 will lack that.
