I was looking at `baremodule Base`, and noticed that it has no exports.
Fox example there is the following line:
```julia
using .Iterators: zip, enumerate
```
For functions like `zip, enumerate` to be available after `using Module`, at the moment I’m forced to reexport them:
```julia
module Module
export f
include("submodule.jl")
using .SubModule: f
end
```
But `Base` seemingly does no such thing, and `zip` and `enumerate` are available to us without using `Base.zip(...)`. What’s the catch, could someone please explain?

`Base` have all the exports in the [`base/exports.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/base/exports.jl) file, and in particular [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/1238bad60fc7d3b5984fbf25423d60159147462c/base/exports.jl#L822-L823) you find `zip` and `enumerate`.

Wow, thanks @fredrikekre. I thought some magic is going on here.
