Expected Behaviour

I suggest consider vararg returns as optional (can be nil) because no one guarantees that they will be filled in. The same goes for arguments, despite the fact that their type can also be optional or nilable.

If we return at least something, but we don't know the quantity, then the first argument won't be vararg - any, any ....

Thus after that we do not need to additionally specify that the vararg returns is optional.

---@param a string
function test(a) end

---@param ... string
---@return string ...
function f(...) end
local a, b, c = f() --no warn
local a, b, c = f("1")

test(a) --no warn, expected optinal cannot match

---@param ... string?
---@return string? ...
function f(...) end
local a, b, c = f() --no warn
local a, b, c = f("1")

test(a) --warn optinal cannot match

---@param ... string|nil
---@return string|nil ...
function f(...) end
local a, b, c = f() --no warn
local a, b, c = f("1")

test(a) --warn nil cannot match

Actual Behaviour

Vararg arguments are optional, but vararg returns are not.

Reproduction steps

1. Make vararg return of some existing type.
2. It is guaranteed to be infinite - not optional or nil.

Comienza con el manejo de los diagnósticos y la inferencia de tipos del Lua language server para los argumentos y valores de retorno vararg, usando los pasos de reproducción y los ejemplos como guía del comportamiento. Verifica que los valores de retorno vararg se traten como optional o nilable según corresponda, mientras que las llamadas proporcionadas produzcan las advertencias esperadas y ninguna advertencia, respectivamente.
