Research direction
Start with export handling in src/index.js and reproduce the BuckleScript-generated export specifier list. Read the linked Webpack HarmonyExportDependencyParserPlugin behavior to understand why export specifiers are rejected, then compare the proposed CommonJS and workerize alternatives. Done means a supported approach or a documented workaround is established and tested.

Description
It appears like workerize-loader only supports moving export declarations in the target module into a worker. I'm attempting to use it with Bucklescript, which compiles modules down to an export specifier list, i.e. export { foo, bar, } instead of export declarations.
I took a pass at implementing this and couldn't get around Webpack declaring its own parser plugin and bailing on export specifier, I think for tree-shaking purposes. I don't have much experience with Webpack plugins though and it seems like there should be a way to get this to work. Are there any alternate approaches you can suggest, or maybe workarounds?
One other thought I had for my purposes would be to instead compile to commonjs and tweak workerize so that it would accept the pre-compiled source instead of doing the current find-and-replace compilation step.
