Title: split Base exports list into a separate file

i thought it might be helpful to split out the list of exports into a separate, semi-structured file because
(a) it's a long list
(b) it gives an easy place to find all of the functions, including undocumented ones, that are exported. this could be used both by simple IDEs and for hand exploration
(c) it could become a standard suggestion for larger packages, with those same benefits
(d) many edits and pull requests change this list, so it may help git do better line-by-line diffs and merges
