Override is prevented from linter

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?

Diagnostics/Syntax Checking

Expected Behaviour

local a = {}
a.__index = a
function a:m1()
end

-- b inherit from a
local b = setmetatable({}, a)
-- override m2()
function b:m2() --- no warning generated
end

Actual Behaviour

local a = {}
a.__index = a
function a:m1()
end

-- b inherit from a
local b = setmetatable({}, a)
-- override m2()
function b:m2() --- duplicate field `m`
end

Reproduction steps

1. Just copy the code and lint them

Additional Notes

Inheritance and override methods is prevent by LuaLS linter.

Override is a common and basic concept. But LuaLS seems can't recognize it but provide warnings.

In the case, m2 is not a duplicate field, but just shadowing or overriding.

No response

使用 Diagnostics/Syntax Checking 下的 Lua 代码片段，在 Visual Studio Code Extension 中重现该诊断。然后跟踪 linter 的重复字段诊断及其对 setmetatable 继承的处理；当 m2 不再被报告为重复字段，同时不相关的重复字段仍会被报告时，即表示完成。
