Description
I get the following list when auto-suggest kicks in:
I always want to use the @shared alias I defined in my tsconfig file, and there appears to be no way to either omit the unwanted suggestions, or have my aliases be prioritised when auto-suggest/complete kicks in.

Research direction

Investigate the TypeScript completion entry points and existing tests for import suggestions; done means alias-based imports are consistently ranked ahead of external dependencies without losing valid suggestions.
