Somewhat related:

• Rule proposal: no-top-level-side-effects #1661

This rule:

• report exports if it has side effects (detected via hashbang)

That rule:

• report side effects if it has exports

However this rule as defined is much easier to implement:

1. find export statement
2. report if line 1 is hashbang
