Description

When I used clion to develop rust project, I found that the presentation of annotations is more friendly, can we learn from it and build it into rust-analyzer?

The following image shows the rendering effect of clion after installing the rust plugin:

The following is the effect rendered in vscode after installing the rust plugin:

Research direction

Start by comparing the reported CLion and VS Code screenshots with rust-analyzer's current annotation rendering behavior. Locate the existing annotation-display entry points and determine the intended rendering differences; done should be defined by an agreed behavior and corresponding validation for the affected editor presentation.
