Description
How are you using the lua-language-server?
Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)
Which OS are you using?
Windows
What is the issue affecting?
Hover
Expected Behaviour
To only show the typed parameter, not the any parameter. And pick the typed one by default.
Actual Behaviour
My methods with params are always displaying 2 possible overflows, the typed one and one with any as a param type:
By default it selects the any overflow
I have to manually specify the parameter
Then it works
Reproduction steps
Meta file:
Additional Notes
Is it possible to remove the any overflow? Am i missing some definition / setting?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hover behavior in the Visual Studio Code extension using the linked screenshots and meta-file example, then trace how hover signatures and overload selection are produced. Done means the typed parameter signature is shown without the redundant any overload and is selected by default.
