Problem loading an external module

I could have an explanation for what you see:

node-red/node-red/blob/a55554193bac2ee4997948c6a15dd752844cace4/packages/node_modules/@node-red/nodes/core/function/10-function.js#L316-L323


      
          if (spec && (spec !== "")) {
              moduleLoadPromises.push(RED.import(module.module).then(lib => {
                  sandbox[vname] = lib.default;
              }).catch(err => {
                  node.error(RED._("function.error.moduleLoadError",{module:module.spec, error:err.toString()}))
                  throw err;
              }));
          }

After the function node imported an ExternalModule as lib, it references (line 318) lib.default to the variable name defined on the property editor.

lib.default yet is only present if the module has defined an export default or export { ..., ... as default, ...}.

javascript-interface-library doesn't define an export default, but only export { ... }.

Is this a bug of Node-RED? I'm not sure...
