ts-loader seems not to load modules from node_modules, but awesome-typescript-loader does

Hello! I eventullay discovered that ts loader won’t load modules from node_modules for some reason. For example, i have some entry file, like this, and tere is @somespace/foo/index.ts file:

// index.ts
import {Foo} from "@somespace/foo"

I enableTypeScriptLoader and all my in-project ts is ok. But when trying to import some ts stuff from node_modules it says:

Error loading ./node_modules/@somespace/foo/index.ts

FIX  To process TypeScript files:
        1. Add Encore.enableTypeScriptLoader() to your webpack.config.js file.

When i replaced built-in ts-loader with awesome-typescript-loader, the problem has gone, and everthing has compiled well.

So, why webpack-encore uses ts-loader, and not awesome-typescript-loader?

Maybe we could add a second parameter to Encore.enableTypeScriptLoader() to change the exclude rule or include some node_modules the same way Encore.configureBabel() works?

Encore.enableTypeScriptLoader(options => {
  // Loader-specific options
  // (...)
}, {
  // Directly change the exclude rule
  exclude: /foo/,

  // Or include *some* modules
  includeNodeModules: ['foo', 'bar'],
});

Note that in the meantime you can use Encore.configureLoaderRule() as a cleaner workaround:

Encore.configureLoaderRule('typescript', rule => {
  delete rule.exclude;
});

May be some configuration option can be introduced? `cause we have lots of internal packages in our organization, written in pure typescript, that are consumed and compiled by some end-projects, and there is no need to pre-build those packages.
