TypeScript - Intellisense support for ES modules (_.mjs_ files)

TypeScript - Intellisense support for ES modules

This patch, based on commit https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/commit/beebda3574be7f9a51f33ac24ab117f696ca9055, will add Intellisense support to projects which utilise the .mjs file extension for JavaScript modules.

⚠️ Warning

• I have only used this from within tsserver. I did not attempt to use the tsc tool to do any kind of compilation of .mjs files.
• This patch causes tsserver to treat all .mjs files as regular JavaScript files. This might be semantically wrong since these files have different semantics.

What works

• Import statements which refer to .mjs modules without extension
• Intellisense for things declared in .mjs files

Usage

• Clone the TypeScript repository
• Download this patch file
• Apply the patch on top of master (if it does not apply, checkout the base commit mentioned above and apply it on top of that instead): `cat tsserver-intellisense.patch | git am
• Compile the TypeScript binaries: npm install && npx jake local
• Point your IDE/other tool to TypeScript/built/local/tsserver.js to use the locally-built TypeScript server
• Profit 🎉
