Description
Currently, numeric literals get an inlay hint that says "numeric" which is not great. We may be able to do better by first figuring out the inferred type of the variable to which the literal is assigned.

Research direction
Start by locating the compiler code that produces inlay hints for numeric literals and read how the assigned variable's inferred type is determined. Define the expected hint wording from that inferred type, then add or update tests for numeric literals and verify the hint no longer always says "numeric".
