Description
It's impossible to read such hints like this. I suggest to add two extension settings:
- To limit nest level for such hints. To show something like
record<...>when instead of...there are nested records or lists. - To format type hints when they are nested like this:
record<
bla: list<int>
bla: string
>

Research direction
Start by locating the VS Code extension settings and the entry point that renders nested type hints. Review how record and list hints are currently displayed, then define behavior for nesting limits and multiline formatting. Done means both options work for nested examples like the record shown and their settings are available to users.
