babel-plugin-add-module-exports

While not directly related to function naming, babel-plugin-add-module-exports modifies module export behavior in a way that can affect how functions are exported and named. It ensures that the module.exports is properly set, which can indirectly influence function naming and debugging. It's a complementary tool for developers looking to improve code clarity and interoperability.
