Suggestion

Typescript doesn't recognize file imports with .ts suffix.
Allow voluntary .ts to be added to import paths.

Use Cases

It seems right to be able to use a correct path to a file without magic resolution.
This would help to align with deno which uses mandatory suffixes o files.

Examples

let
import a from "path/to/a.ts"
behave the same as
import a from "path/to/a"

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
