Support tsconfig "paths" runtime module resolution #72

Closed gamedevsam closed 3 years ago

Describe your idea for a new feature

In order to support TypeScript's "paths" config option, this project should load tsconfig-paths/register when loading ts files: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsconfig-paths

Explain the problem your idea is trying to solve

Currently projects that leverage the paths typescript configuration cannot use interpret successfully.

How will it benefit gulp and its users?

It will improve TypeScript compatibility by supporting the "paths" config option.

If this feature could exist outside of gulp (like as a plugin or a module), would you be interested in helping to create and maintain it?

No time... sorry.

Why isn't that just upstreamed into ts-node if it is an official feature of typescript? I'd prefer this to be in the tool where it belongs.
