Improves an error message and adds a codefix for type-only imports (and type imports) in CJS files that reference ESM files. The current error says that you can't do it because it will produce a
require
call, which isn't true for type-only imports. The real reasons are too nuanced to explain in an error message, so the new message just says what you have to do to work around it.Related:
