title: Can't use absolute paths for import?
body: <p>Bear with me, I'm not sure if this is purely a React Native issue, or just an ES6 question in general. But I noticed I'm unable to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import {navBarRouteMapper} from '/src/helpers';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error saying it's unable to resolve the module. I have to do this instead:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import {navBarRouteMapper} from '../../../src/helpers';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Keeping track of folder depth can get a bit unmanageable as the complexity of the app grows. Why am I not able to use an absolute path?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I see people are recommending adding babel, but I don't want to pollute React Native's system. There's obviously transpilation to ES6 already going on. I was hoping for a solution specific to the React Native ecosystem.</p>
