What is "annoying" about this?

My general sense from this is that you're basically trying to avoid
using namespaces in the *implementation* of a module, while still
putting the exported results into a namespace. This is not a thing we
should encourage. Just put your stuff in the namespace and move on.

It's 3 lines of code, and overall, it's *less* actual text if you use
blocks than if you force every export declaration to have a namespace
specifier.
