The original design of ModuleResolution intended do-not-resolve-by-default to be consulted by the resolver when making decisions about whether or not to include the module in the resolution process by default. The warn-if-resolved value was intended to be used by tools and the launcher, to provide a warning reason if the module in question was resolved. -Chris.
