slim exports break variable context

[Manuel Mujica]

for a module like:

const locales = ['en', 'es', 'hi', 'zh', 'ar'];

export default locales[getRandomInt(0, locales.length)];

function getRandomInt(min, max) { ... }

The slim output is:

[
  2,
  function(stealRequire, stealExports, stealModule) {
    Object.defineProperty(stealExports, "__esModule", { value: true });
    stealExports.default = locales[getRandomInt(0, locales.length)];
    var locales = ["en", "es", "hi", "zh", "ar"];
    function getRandomInt(min, max) { ... }
  }
];

This line stealExports.default = locales[getRandomInt(0, locales.length)]; breaks because the locales var definition is after the variable is used.

The slim output places exports before imports so the exported values are available in circular dependencies, we have to find a way of keeping the behaviour without breaking context.
