This is a neat feature, thanks for working on it! I think to make this immediately useful for others, we should export in a widely supported format, e.g. DOT. We could then later add support for other formats.

Being able to export the source graph to other tools is extremely useful as it allows for usage outside the scope of the project without creating or requiring a public API (or the user having to create a swift wrapper just to get the information they need).
For example, with this change, it is possible to generate nice dependency charts such as described here: #758.
