  DC>       my $localvar does export;

  DC>       sub AUTOLOAD {...}         # implements &baz and &qux
  DC>       sub baz does export {...}  # stub for autoloaded sub

how would you handle %EXPORT_TAGS and @EXPORT_OK?

i do like marking each exportable thing with does export as that removes
the redunancy of the names in the declaration and the @EXPORTS. but it
trades it for many copies of does export which i think is ok.
