Import module based on path relative to project root (tsconfig.json).

Counting ../../../ is painful, it would be great if TypeScript compiler could convert something like ~/modules/my-module for us based on project root and file path.

this should be handled in #2338, by setting a Path mapping for "~/modules/*" : "../../../../Root/*"

@mhegazy and it's possible? Because this issue #2338 is closed, and I did not find any solution there.

#2338 gives you a way to tell the compiler where the files are, the compiler is not going to rewrite ~/ for you to be ../.././../. see #15479 for more details.
