Description xMihai 2017-05-10 18:52:06 UTC 
This enhancement refers to the Go To Imported File action (Ctrl+click on file name in import statement)

Lets assume this statement:
import {Stuff} from '../stuff'

If the path does not resolve to a file (../stuff.js) then the editor should look for a '../stuff/index.js' file.

As far as I understand, this is not specified in ES6. But node.js, babel, webpack and others will correctly resolve the path. This convention is increasingly popular and the enhancement would be of value for developers.
