Why the limitation on exporting an interface by default in TypeScript?

TypeScript v2.4.0 allows export default interface. Here is the pull-request that introduced the change.

We can now do both of these:

// Foo.ts
export interface Foo { }

// Bar.ts
export default interface Bar { }    

// Baz.ts
import { Foo } from "./foo";
import Bar from "./bar";

export class Baz implements Foo, Bar 
{

}
