I guess debugging is easier with named functions. Arrow functions don't have names

That was roughly my guess. I asked because I ran into a specific edge case where this is finicky.

AFAIK, arrow functions do (and should) have names if they're assigned to a variable.

  const foo = () => {};
  // undefined
  foo.name
  // "foo"

I ran into a specific bug where this doesn't work for the following case when using babel to target modern versions of node:

  export const foo = () => {};

Note that's only when the declaration is part of an export (https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/7194).

The name works fine in the browser, but since jest/enzyme use node to run tests, I had issues with functional components (defined as arrow functions and immediately exported) were missing their names.

FWIW, this isn't an issue in Babel 7.
