Ignore export const case

[ai]

Motivation

@cowboyd sorry, I came with small fix for my recent PR.

In JS code let/const is almost identical.

In export statement let means that export value can be changed in runtime. It is a very different signal.

I suggest ignoring export case at all in the rule.

What are the specific scenarios that you are wanting to fix?

[ai]

export const settings = stateManager()

With forceUpperCaseConst we need to use let here (which mean very different export mechanism) or SETTINGS which is not really C++-style constant.

That makes sense. Before moving ahead, that case seems rare enough that maybe it makes sense to disable for that line?

I'll leave it up to you though.

In my open source it is pretty popular pattern. Some projects have 10+ exports like this.

Here is an example of my code where I used export const https://github.com/logux/client/blob/main/badge/index.js#L114-L123

Also, export const is a popular construction in webapps when we are using state manager https://github.com/hplush/slowreader/blob/main/web/stores/url-router.ts#L19
