a non-relative name is one like "foo", not "./foo.js", right?

I guess this is output for traceResolution, so it's probably OK to be technical, but is 'non-relative' the friendliest term we have? I have to think about it a bit every time I see the term. Could be that I was ruined by reading an old, old "how Typescript implements Node resolution" document, though.

I've also found myself wondering if there's a good term for imports that are neither absolute nor relative to the containing file, but rather relative to some configured root or resolved via aliasing. Floating? Inferred? I guess "absolute" could be reused since giving full filesystem paths for imports should be vanishingly rare, but it doesn't feel accurate either.

I like the new error a lot better. I had a couple of bike-shed comments but no suggestions that I am confident in.

Q: Would a similar error for "imports" for resolving #-prefixed nonrelative names be useful?
