Remove default aliases

Describe the feature

Right now, default path aliases like ~ or @@ can’t be deleted, only overridden.

Would it make sense to alter the code so setting them to a falsy value like undefined or '' in the nuxt.config.ts would remove them entirely?

If what you want to do is remove it from autocomplete then you can do this:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'prepare:types' ({ tsConfig }) {
      const aliasesToRemoveFromAutocomplete = ['~~', '~~/*']
      for (const alias of aliasesToRemoveFromAutocomplete) {
        if (tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths[alias]) {
          delete tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths[alias]
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

I would be happy to continue discussion why this is needed. Such customization for built-ins can possibly break many things like modules or config depending on aloases.
