Typescript: ATA inclusion in JS projects should include bundled .d.ts files from NPM packages

When we construct the program in a JS context we include stuff from node_modules/@types, but don't scan other node_modules to look for packages that have bundled .d.ts files, e.g. axios. This results in UMD globals being missing from the completion list.

As workaround I copied over the types from the axios directoy into node_modules/@types/axios and was surprised that this didn't light up intelisense. Why is that? I also tried to copy the type definitons to the ata cache (AppData\Local\Microsoft\TypeScript\2.5node_modules\@types) which also didn't help. Any other workaround until 2.8 is released?

Any news about the fix? Without the "reference mode" we are developing in blindly mode.
