How to tell ESLint about the Svelte Kit $lib folder?

I use Svelte Kit with ESLint, and my .eslintrc.json includes the svelte3 plugin. Still, ESLint raises errors on all imports from the $lib folder, which points to src/lib, for example:

3:23  error  Unable to resolve path to module '$lib/Glossary.svelte'   import/no-unresolved

The error is detected in this import section:

<script>
    import Glossary from '$lib/Glossary.svelte';
</script>

It seems as if ESLint is unable to resolve $lib to src/lib, which is defined in svelte.config.js. How can I tell ESLint to expand $lib to src/lib?

P.S.: As suggested by @BenMcCann, I created an issue at https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/1560.
