40// Feature: Inlay Hints
41//
42// rust-analyzer shows additional information inline with the source code.
43// Editors usually render this using read-only virtual text snippets interspersed with code.
44//
45// rust-analyzer shows hits for
46//
47// * types of local variables
48// * names of function arguments
49// * types of chained expressions
50//
51// **Note:** VS Code does not have native support for inlay hints https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/16221[yet] and the hints are implemented using decorations.
52// This approach has limitations, the caret movement and bracket highlighting near the edges of the hint may be weird:
