should import { getter } from 'cjs-mod' work?

not sure if this is intended, or a bug.

related to: from https://github.com/standard-things/esm/issues/516

I was originally wondering if it should be possible to import `promises` (which currently is a getter) from `fs`.

```javascript
// index.mjs
import { promises as fs } from 'fs'
```

```shell
node --experimental-modules index.mjs
#(node:57314) ExperimentalWarning: The ESM module loader is experimental.
#file:///test/index.mjs:6
#import { promises as fs } from 'fs'
#         ^^^^^^^^
#SyntaxError: The requested module 'fs' does not provide an export named 'promises'
#    at ModuleJob._instantiate (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:80:21)

node -r esm index.mjs
# file:///test/index.mjs:1

#SyntaxError: Missing export name 'promises' in ES module: fs
#    at file:///test/index.mjs:1
```


@jdalton after some research I saw your comment that this was planned for node: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20504#issuecomment-387767313  is this still the case and a bug in `node` and/or `esm`? or was it decided against to allow named imports of cjs getters?

someone also did mention that it did work prior `node` v10.2 with `esm` https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20504#issuecomment-392114399
