Description
parameter hints can be elided if the value of the parameter is the same as the hint
function call(a, b) end
call(a, b) -- With hints this is a:a and b:b
type hints could be elided if the type appears on the right (less sure about this one)
local inst = SomeType.new()

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the language-server code that generates parameter and type inlay hints, then check existing coverage for these examples. Done means parameter hints are elided when the argument value matches the hint, with the proposed type-hint behavior resolved and covered.
