TS AutoImport deep vs shallow imports

[bradzacher]

I noticed that when doing an autoimport in TS, code seems to prefer deep imports over shallow ones.

I.e. when working with graphql, if you try and import GraphQLString, code places this import import { GraphQLString } from 'graphql/type/scalars'; instead of using the import on the base package import { GraphQLString } from 'graphql';.

It would be good if code could detect this and prefer shallow imports where possible.
Esp with node module imports, because doing a deep import can technically be fragile (i.e. a module author may not intend you to import from one of the modules' internal folders).
