[bentatum]

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Expected Behavior

This should work:

// in pages/index.js
import { Layout } from 'layout'
export default () => <Layout />

// in layout/index.js
export { default as Layout } from './Layout'

Current Behavior

export { default as Layout } from './Layout'
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new next app.
2. Add a custom server.js.
3. Create a component outside of the pages directory.
4. Import that component from within pages/index.js.
5. yarn dev
