• VSCode Version: latest (1.10.0-insider)
• OS Version: Windows 10 + Docker

Steps to Reproduce:

1. import a module in node.js with backtick qoutation. Example: const fs = require(fs);

2. check IntelliSense autocomplete. Example: fs dot

With double quote, IntelliSense works:

However, with back-tick IntelliSense doesn't work.

Moving here since this does is not a VSCode specific problem. However, I believe this is probably by design currently since TypeScript requires imports to be const strings. In this case, TypeScript would have to look at the template string to see that is actually static and I'm not sure how often people are actually using these static template strings for imports
