I thought it made no difference of having a main or not. I was under
the impression that not providing `module-export` ensured that all
function were exported explicitly.

In fact, I thought it was false-positives from Kawa unsed dectection mechanisms.

If there is no main method generated, then I guess the script would
need to be called from another file right?

My initial version used aliases which I changed afterward, seems I
forgot this one.
