Also our suggested approach would not have this downside.

Think about phobos. All of phobos and druntime will be littered with 
export attributes. Do you really want all phobos and druntime from 
within the same dll to go through dll indirections? And what would 
happen when building phobos as static library? With your suggested 
behavior (export=dllimport if not specified otherwise) this would mean 
that even the phobos static library would have those indirections.
