Suggestion
The new ES2022 standard allows to use string literals in module exports and imports:
import {"\0 any unicode" as foo} from "";
export {foo as "\0 any unicode"};
Ref: tc39/ecma262#2154
This feature is supported in NodeJS since v16(2021) and I have been using this feature but typescript complains about invalid syntax and I don't see this feature in the roadmap?.

String literals import and export
✅ Viability Checklist
My suggestion meets these guidelines:
- This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
- This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
