Topic: (rust-guest) Exporting component when passing dir to path

Hi, passing a directory path to the generate! macro of the guest-rust crate seems to not generate a export macro for the world, rendering the re-implemented use keyword unusable.

is this intentional? and if so how do I export the world?

the current version expects the wit file to be in ./wits/{name}.wit and you specify the name without an ending

Yes, but if the wits directory contains a deps directory it does generate however without the export_${world} macro.

And if there were multiple files (using with pkg) no export_${world} macro is generated

For the deps-directory, this wit-parser test highlights it as well
