Making webpack throw errors for unknown imports instead of warnings

Question

Webpack very conveniently shows warnings when it finds imports which it believes do not exist:

WARNING in ./somefile.js 18:34-55 "export 'A_CONSTANT' was not
found in './constants.js'

This is great, but it would be even better to be able to receive an actual error, ideally one that will show up in the webpack dev server overlay option. Is there a way to do this
