Description

Hi gleam team,

I would like to suggest support inlay hint feature in vscode-gleam. This feature be supported in most of popular programming languages (e.g. Rust, Go, etc.) It would save us much time to hover over the variables/functions to check the types.

Looking forward to hearing from your reply !

Research direction
Implement the 'textDocument/inlayHint' request in the Gleam language server. Study the LSP specification for inlay hints and examine how rust analyzer implements them. Look at the gleam lsp crate for existing code structure, particularly the handler for code actions or completions. Coordinate with maintainers via comments to clarify the expected scope.
