No intellisense for require in ts files

TypeScript Version: 3.4.0-rc
Search Terms: require, intellisense

Typescript does not resolve modules of require expressions as it does in plain js files.

Code

require("s:\\dev\\easy-attach\\")({
    eagerExitDebugProxy: true,
    port: "preconfigured",
    
});

Expected behavior:
This is what I get in VS Code in plain js files:

Actual behavior:
However, the module is not resolved in ts files:

Probably this is intended and my use case is a very special one.
However, typescripts repository description still says:

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

In this case, typescript has better support for require in js than in ts which is a little bit confusing considering typescript being a superset of javascript.

Start by reproducing the provided require example in a TypeScript file and compare its IntelliSense with the same expression in a JavaScript file. Investigate the TypeScript language-service path that resolves require expressions; done means the module and its callable options are resolved in TypeScript as expected, or the intended limitation is documented.
