Function Overloading Overhaul (`@function` annotation)

The Problem

I think function overloading needs some changes in order for it to really function in the way that most people would find useful. This is especially problematic with event systems, as I and others have encountered.

Example

Currently, let's say I have the following function that I want to provide an overload for:

function Shape:listen(event, callback) end

Using @overload

The first logical option is to use @overload:

---@class Shape
local Shape = {}

---Subscribe to an event on this shape
---@param event "Destroy"
---@param callback fun(self: Shape)
---@overload fun(event: "Repair", callback: fun(self: Shape, amount: number))
function Shape:listen(event, callback) end

But there is a problem, when using methods (:), the first parameter only gets completions for the first @param and ignores the @overload entirely.

Ok, so for testing, let's replace the method (:) with a static function (.):

---@class Shape
local Shape = {}

---Subscribe to an event on this shape
---@param event "Destroy"
---@param callback fun(self: Shape)
---@overload fun(event: "Repair", callback: fun(self: Shape, amount: number))
function Shape.listen(event, callback) end

This still isn't great, we are still offered both callbacks even though the info we have entered only matches the @overload. At least the first parameter was completed this time.

Multiple Definitions

So then maybe we try defining multiple functions where each event param has the type set to the event name we are looking for:

---@class Shape
local Shape = {}

---Subscribe to an event on this shape
---@param event "Destroy"
---@param callback fun(self: Shape)
function Shape:listen(event, callback) end

---Subscribe to an event on this shape
---@param event "Repair"
---@param callback fun(self: Shape, amount: number)
function Shape:listen(event, callback) end

Now, even as methods (:) we are receiving correct completions for the first parameter... nice! However, we are still receiving two completions for the callback - there is no narrowing happening. The completion also shows the event as "Destroy", which is incorrect for our second definition as we have only allowed "Repair".

At least when defining the function twice, we are able to write a separate description for each of them as well as their @params and @returns. However, we receive a warning saying that we have a duplicate field.

Proposed Solution

See @flrgh's idea to add a @function annotation to add more in-depth support for defining functions overall.

Empieza con los ejemplos de @overload y definiciones múltiples del issue y, después, lee la propuesta enlazada de @flrgh para la anotación @function. El trabajo estará terminado cuando las definiciones de funciones admitan la anotación propuesta con completados correctos específicos de eventos y callbacks, sin la advertencia de definición duplicada descrita aquí.
