Importing scoped npm modules without scope name

[sasidhar]

This is a question.

We have some private NPM packages using npmjs' private repository. Assume

• scope name : @scope
• private package name as : private-package

When we install this NPM package using
npm install @scope/private-package

It is installed to : ./node_modules/@scope/private-package

In VSCode, to import some thing from this package, we need to do
import {SomeThing} from '@scope/private-package'

Is there anything in TypeScript configuration that we can re-map
@scope/private-package to private-package
so that we can use like
import {SomeThing} from 'private-package' instead of adding@scope?

See paths tsconfig.json option - #5039 (comment) and #5728

@Arnavion Thanks for the references.
I tried paths with 1.8.9 and found it is not yet out.
Seems it is planned for 1.9.0.
