Out of curiosity, what would you recommend? And what would be needed to make them work automatically?

Some solutions include: add a hook to node on the command line, fake a `node_modules`, try to make an import map work, just hard-code the path ... most of this is quite intrusive unlike the simple `require` path.

I really don't have a recommendation other than another hack. The JS world is hacks upon hacks upon hacks; there is no sanity to be found anywhere.
