Description
Description
The rust-analyzer section in CONTRIBUTING.md suggests setting "rust-analyzer.updates.channel": "nightly". This setting was recently removed from rust-analyzer. Not sure whether the setting is no longer necessary to get type hints to work in Clippy, or if there's an alternative method that needs to be added to the docs here.
