Likely falls under #18442 but someone on the TS team will have to verify

Duplicates #27957. We don't read .mjs files right now.

[robertrossmann]

I crafted a patch which enables tsserver to recognise, parse and provide type hints for .mjs files.

This might be useful for people who use the .mjs file extensions for JavaScript files with identical module resolution semantics as CommonJS. Note that this patch does not implement any special behaviour with regard to ES modules and might not be spec-compliant. However, editor integrations which allow using custom-built tsserver implementations will greatly increase developer productivity because suddenly everything seems to work.
