Can't use package.json property `imports` to import subpath module.

My package.json :

{
    ...,
    "imports": {
        "#style/*": "./src/style/*"
    }
    ...
}

when i use less-loader to load less file like:

@import (refrence) "#style/mixins"

i got error like:

'#style/mixins' wasn't found. Tried - .less
      Error in D:\Development\xxx\index.module.less (line 2, column 0)

I think less throws an error before using the FileManager to resolve the file, making it impossible to use the webpack resolver to resolve the real path.

When I change the code to the following, everything works fine:

@import (refrence) "~#style/mixins"

My packages version is:

• less@4.1.2
• less-loader@10.2.0
• webpack@5.68.0
• enhanced-resolve@5.9.2

Reproduce the package.json imports case with less@4.1.2, less-loader@10.2.0, webpack@5.68.0, and enhanced-resolve@5.9.2, comparing the failing #style/mixins import with the working ~#style/mixins form. Trace the LESS FileManager and webpack resolver entry points; done when the package imports mapping resolves without requiring the tilde prefix.
