Not support export const a = props.a

Is this expected? I'd like to use {a} instead of {props.a} in mdx for short sugar syntax.

Yes. Import/export statements are a level higher than the content. You can’t pass props to them. To illustrate, say this is file.mdx:

export const a = 1

{props.b}

And this is the code using it:

import {default as MDXContent, a} from './path/to/file.mdx'

// `MDXContent` is a function, so sure, we could pass props to them and set `b`.
// But `a` is the value `1`, it’s already exported, we can’t change that.
