+Jest.mergePreset: Fudge `Node16` and `NodeNext` module resolutions
+
+This works around a `ts-jest` issue where test cases fail to run if your `moduleResolution` is set to a modern mode:
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "moduleResolution": "Node16 | NodeNext"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```console
+error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'Node16' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'Node16'.
+error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'NodeNext' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'NodeNext'.
+```
