Had a bug report for one of my module due to resolution issues. Specifically the below doesn't work

{
  "exports": "lib/index.js"
{

But the below does

{
  "exports": "./lib/index.js"
}

This is inconsistent with the behavior of main where the ./ is not required in relative paths.

To make matters even more confusing there is no failure when attempting to load a module as self-referential.

TBH this seems like a bug. Even if it was intentional design it is very easy to get wrong and was hard to debug.

/cc @nodejs/modules thoughts?
