Research direction

Start by reading the mini.completion module and reproducing signature help for an overloaded C/C++ function with . Compare mini.completion's behavior with Neovim's multiple-signature support. Done means overload signatures are integrated without producing two signature-help windows.

Description

Since https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/33646, neovim(stable) supports multiple signatures in signature help. This is beneficial for overloads in C/C++. This can be triggered with <C-S> as explained in :h news. Since mini.completion supports signatures out of the box, would it be possible to integrate multiple signatures? Right now, if I type a function, and then <C-S>, there are two signature_help windows, one by nvim and one by mini.completion.

Thanks for the plugin!
