Description
Enhancement to redirection feature added in #23 and #30
We can install a redirector for `require()` by patching `Module._resolveFilename` but we can't do that for ESM loader hooks. If a loader hook wants to redirect, it needs to call out to us directly.
Consumers like ts-node who implement their own loader hooks may want to do the same redirection. We can expose a function they can use to do this redirection. Perhaps it can even support our redirection callback? Perhaps not since ESM loaders will eventually run in a separate thread.
Should it be implemented as a loader itself? To support chaining? Probably not since it would be more complex, and most likely the only consumer of this feature is going to be ts-node.
