Resolve to JSON file instead of node module #108

When using tsconfig-paths with ts-node, it conflicts a require of a node modules having the same name as a JSON file in the root folder.

Basically here is a tree to represent the issue:

node_modules/
  firebase/
  @firebase/testing/
     index.js  => contains a "require('firebase')"
firebase.json
package.json
script.ts => import "@firebase/testing"

Running script.ts with ts-node/tsconfig-paths fails because the require('firebase') returns the content of the firebase.json.

Workaround: In the paths typescript config, I've added:

"paths": {
  "firebase": ["node_modules/firebase"]
}

I ran into this same issue today and was quite confused what was happening! It would be great if this could be fixed to prevent others from spending time debugging this weirdness.
