quickinfo,parameter
Suggestion
If you call an function with many many arguments (and maybe with same type).
It's easy to lost your mind: Where I am? What i am doing? Which parameter I'm passing?
It's helpful if show the parameter info when hover into one arguments.
Examples
declare function foo(
p1: string,
p2: string,
p3: string,
p4: string,
p5: string
): void;
declare const a: string[]
foo(
a[0],
a[1], // ???
a[2],
a[3],
a[4]
)
Checklist
My suggestion meets these guidelines:
- This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
- This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing TypeScript language-service quickinfo and signature-help behavior at call arguments; done means hovering an argument identifies its corresponding parameter without changing runtime output.
