Importing modules with require doesn't work with plugins

Using custom requirejs plugins is not supported. This results in an error, even if the './MyModule' path is valid:

import MyModule = require('someplugin!./MyModule');

Obviously tsc can't know what the plugin does so one may argue reporting an error is the right thing to do, however some plugins preprocess (or load using alternative methods) resources matching the local file system hierarchy (in my case I use a plugin which uses an alternative way to load code).

Unless there are better ideas I suggest to skip the plugin prefix (someplugin!) and validate the local path, as usual. If there was a compiler flag (either a command line option or a source-code-level magic statement) controlling this behaviour that would surely make everyone happy.

For completeness: requiring in the class body is not a solution as such statements don't validate the path.

Das Issue nennt keine Quelldatei, keinen Test und keinen Einstiegspunkt. Beginne damit, den Fehler für import MyModule = require('someplugin!./MyModule') zu reproduzieren, und verfolge die bestehende Validierung von Modulpfaden; abgeschlossen ist die Aufgabe, wenn das vereinbarte Verhalten für pluginpräfixierte lokale Pfade implementiert und durch Tests abgedeckt ist.
