After a prefix has been typed, autocomplete will either display defined aliases or local modules, depending on the prefix.
Approaches (1a) and (1b) would be less clear about this, as `require("` could be followed by a string component or one of the three prefixes.
An additional benefit of this approach is that it is forwards compatible with both (1a) and (1b).
We effectively reserve unprefixed paths with this approach and can support either (1a) or (1b) further down the road.
After a package manager has been implemented, we will likely have a better sense for which option makes the most sense: mapping unprefixed paths to local modules, to aliased modules, or to nothing (keeping unprefixed paths unsupported).
The main drawback of this approach is that it is not backwards compatible with any existing code that uses unprefixed require statements and may result in code that looks cluttered.
