Description
From wiki:
TypeScript Language Service Plugins ("plugins") are for changing the editing experience only
TypeScript plugins are very limited. Plugins should be able to:
- Apply Transformers
- Provide type definitions
- Override module resolver (
LanguageServiceHost#resolveModuleNames) - Emit code beside TypeScript standard output

Research direction
Start with the linked wiki description of TypeScript Language Service Plugins and the LanguageServiceHost#resolveModuleNames capability. Compare the requested transformer, type-definition, module-resolution, and adjacent-emission features with the existing plugin boundaries. Done means defining and implementing a supported compiler-plugin design, with corresponding validation for each requested capability.
