to discuss: flat export of helpers in main chart.js

See original GitHub issue

what is the main benefit of not having the helpers as part of the chart.js module but as separate imports?

cause so far it requires quite some bundling efforts to get it working across UMD, ESM, and CommonJS cases.

Like I wanna create an CommonJS build. However importing chart.js/helpers/core will results in an ESM file and there is no corresponding CommonJS file.

@sgratzl that seems reasonable. It might be even worth the break from backward compatibility to just have them flat under Chart.helpers / chartjs/helpers, because its hard to remember the namespace every helper is under (mainly between core and the obvious ones). Would also make the imports cleaner.

Would you be willing to do a pr?
