Description
### 🔎 Search Terms
"dollar signs", "two dollar signs", "$$", "paths config"

### 💻 Code
```ts
// The files: "code", "$code", and "$$code" all exist. "$$$$code" does not.
// However, the first line is the only one that has an error:
// "'"~server/$$code"' has no exported member named 'test2'. Did you mean 'test1'?"
import {test2 as test2_error} from "~server/$$code"
import {test2 as test2_working} from "~server/$$$$code"
import {test1} from "~server/$code"
import {test0} from "~server/code"
import {test2 as test2_2} from "./server/$$code"
import {test1 as test1_2} from "./server/$code"
import {test0 as test0_2} from "./server/code"
```
### 🙁 Actual behavior
It appears that `$$` gets escaped / interpreted as reduced to a single `$` but ONLY when using paths config.
### 🙂 Expected behavior
The filename imported matches the filename that you've written.
