Suggestion

Support module: es2020, as dynamic import() hit stage 4 as a part of future es2020 standard.

Use Cases

import("./mymodule.js");
// TS1323: Dynamic import is only supported when '--module' flag is 'commonjs' or 'esNext'
// `esnext` will unexpectedly enable features that might arrive after es2020.

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
