Require sub-path

[oliversturm]

Trying to add this:

const _ = require('lodash/fp');

Currently I need to auto-require lodash, find the place where it's been inserted and add the /fp manually. When I enter lodash/fp directly, nothing happens when I hit Enter.

The material-ui library also suggests using sub-paths like this in certain circumstances. Would be nice to see this supported.

@oliversturm I am not exactly sure how to approach this one. Because lodash/fp is not a direct package it will not show up on the list. I was thinking maybe if there are no matches then maybe the package should prompt "insert require lodash/fp" but then would we still want the alias to get recognized.

Well, like I said it's possible to enter lodash/fp when prompted for the dependency. Wouldn't it be possible to use that string directly (assuming I type it manually)? If necessary, you could always extract the module "base name" by looking for path delimiters. Perhaps it would be possible to add Tab support so I could auto-complete the name of the module, so I'd type something like lod<Tab>/fp for the whole thing.

Alternatively, you could query a sub-path separately, and optionally. I could set an option somewhere if I use sub-paths sometimes, or else bind a separate keystroke, and then I would select the module at the first prompt (as it is now) and enter the /fp at a second prompt - or just hit return once more if I don't have a sub-path that time.

Just to be clear - one main advantage for me is that I can add an import/require from any point in code. The main pain point with the way things are currently is that I need to manually find the newly inserted line and modify it, then go back to where I was.
