gettext.js's Issues

Add `export gettext = <func>`

Currently the module only has a default export, which means it can be used like so:

import gettext from "gettextjs";

xxx = gettext.gettext("Translate me");

If it also had a named exports, it could be used like this:

import {gettext, ngettext} from "gettextjs";

xxx = gettext("Translate me");

And eventually with an alias:

import {gettext as _, ngettext} from "gettextjs";

xxx = _("Translate me");
