Description

(bug regarding wrong argument order)
https://github.com/racket/racket/commit/96f26e0a3576f0c67c17d9ee6faeee899494b1f0
Rendering inlay hints would be very useful, eliminating a lot of the guess work of function arguments and struct fields without needing to look at the documentation or the definition again and in the case of structs, creating functions with keyword arguments to see what the fields are.
(struct person (firstname middlename lastname age job))
; when constructing, it will render the field names as a sort of "background image",
; the code that actually is ran is the valid amount of arguments, so (person "bob" "j" "smith" 20 "programmer")
(person firstname "bob" middlename "j" lastname "smith" age 20 job "programmer")

Start by reading the linked racket-langserver issue and the referenced Racket commit about argument order. Use the struct example and inlay-hints screenshot as behavior references; done means DrRacket renders useful parameter and struct-field hints without changing the executed argument list.
