No there isn't. There's a wildcard for exporting all symbols in a
module, i.e. using a * instead of a symbol list.  For records there's
no such thing I am afraid. A lot of modules don't export some if
not all accessors to hide the actual implementation.

So for the time being you need to explicitly export the getters/setters
and the make- procedure unless you want to provide your own (maybe
with your application specific checks).
