Description
Type: Feature Request
I would love to see to refactor signatures in a similar way VSCode can refactor signatures for C# and VB or CLion does for C++:
Specifically
- Allow to change the name of a signature(which is already available)
- Allow to add/remove argument
- Change argument types
- Change/add/remove argument modifiers

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing signature-renaming support and comparing the requested behavior with the C# and VB refactoring in VS Code and C++ refactoring in CLion. Define how adding, removing, or changing arguments, types, and modifiers should work before implementation; done means all listed signature changes are supported consistently.
