I'd in principle welcome the possibility to write type signatures
in export lists. (I often write them there anyway, but as comments).

But I admit I have not thought about what the caveats might be.

If type signatures in export lists are allowed, I would hope it
would be possible to put a type signature next to the actual definition
as well, though, unless that would be terribly complicated for some
reason (in which case I'd personally stick with the unannotated
export list).
