Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
To be able to hide variables declarations which is placed in hlil body (not ones at the top of the function)

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
I think may be it can be done with custom workflow.

Additional Information:
For example sometimes this declarations takes a half of all functions lines, that's make visually harder to analyze the function.

Research direction

The issue names HLIL and custom workflow as starting points; inspect the HLIL rendering and workflow documentation first. Define how declarations in the HLIL body differ from declarations at the top of a function, then confirm that the completed behavior hides only the former without obscuring analysis.
