There was a problem hiding this comment.
I have just managed to try this out and it feels good, especially if I imagine the type hints on the variable and not expression side.
Disabling the Render inlay type annotations in the editor doesn’t seem to do anything for me though and type hints are still being displayed if the setting is disabled.
Also, after trying it out, I think we should default Render inlay type annotations in the editor to false while the feature is under development and maybe also mark it as (experimental) or something like that.
While the feature is under development and experimental.

For easier reviewability, the client-side implementation of inlay hints for VSCode (originally part of #406) is now in this PR. It implements the new (non-standard)
sourcekit-lsp/inlayHintsrequest and generates corresponding text decorations for inlay hints:Inlay hints as text decorations on the client side are also a proposed part of the VSCode API, although this implementation does not use it yet, as it is only available in VSCode Insiders builds. More details can be found here:
Once inlay hints become part of LSP, this client-side implementation can be removed completely as VSCode's internal language client will then send inlay hint requests as appropriate.
