- hovering the identifiers in the condition can show string statistics

For example:

$s00 = "test"
$s01 = /another/

Research direction

Start by tracing how context is set and how hover information is produced for identifiers in the YARA language server. Use the `$s00` example to determine which string statistics are available, and consider the work done when hovering a string identifier displays the agreed match details.
