Associate import map @types/<entry-name> entry as types for <entry-name>?

[dsherret]

It's annoying to have to specify stuff like // @deno-types="..." /> above an import (ex. for a npm:@types/... package) and sometimes it's not possible to specify it (ex. with jsxImportSource: denoland/deno#18203).

Perhaps for any import map entry, deno_graph should try to resolve a corresponding @types/<entry-name> when resolving the types of a module. For example:

// deno.json
{
  // ugh, import maps are painful
  "imports": {
    "react": "npm:react@18",
    "react/": "npm:/react@18/",
    "@types/react": "npm:@types/react@18",
    "@types/react/": "npm:/@types/react@18/",
  }
}

Then when a user imports react or react/jsx-server this would get the corresponding types.

This would also not be npm specific and allow for mapping to non-npm types like:

{
  "imports": {
    "react": "npm:react@18",
    "react/": "npm:/react@18/",
    "@types/react": "./@types/react@18/mod.d.ts",
    "@types/react/": "./@types/react@18/",
  }
}

Import map unfurling

This introduces some complexities when unfurling import maps, but I don't believe it would be too bad because we could inject a // @deno-types="..." comment above the import/export.

I'm going to close this issue because it just adds additional complexity.
