TypeScript: After moving file into new destination its extensions declare module '../types' { are not changing path of module being extending

[psnet]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Version: 1.99.0 (user setup)
Commit: 4437686ffebaf200fa4a6e6e67f735f3edf24ada

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Lets have file types.ts

interface CoolInterface {
    something: boolean;
}

2. Lets have file thisFileWillBeMoved.ts

declare module './types' {
    interface CoolInterface {
        newProp?: boolean;
    }
}

3. Lets move file thisFileWillBeMoved.ts into newly created folder test
4. After moving file into new destination its extensions declare module './types' { are not changing path of module being extending. Must be:

declare module '../types' {  // path must be changed

I think this would be more confusing than helpful on average. If you move the files one at a time we won't have any way to realize that the relative path should un-changed once the second file moves over. Modifying these kind of paths is pretty fraught. Absent other feedback on this (haven't seen any), the status quo seems better than trying to make this code more complex than it already is.

Yes, your comment makes sense, but while we change imports path seems like at least to look at this case too. Yes, it more rare condition but still is path that is broken after moving files.
