title: What is the root of an absolute path when importing a module in typescript?
body: <p>I'm developing an app in typescript (in Visual Studio 2015) and have this basic file structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Solution
      AppProject
          Scripts
              framework
                  Utils.ts
              app
                  SomeApp.ts
          tsconfig.json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now within the app modules, I would like to reference the framework modules with an absolute path, so I would do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import { Utils } from '/Scripts/framework/Utils'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However <strong>this doesn't work</strong>.<br>
  I'm getting the red squiggly line and a "<em>Cannot find module '/Scripts/framework/Utils'</em>"</p>
  
  <p>I works fine when doing a relative path, but the app is obviously more complex than what is shown, and I don't want to deal with stepping out multiple levels for my relative path.</p>
  
  <p>I am using typescript 1.8 with the node module resolution strategy.<br>
  And webpack to compile and bundle it, if that matters</p>
