Proposal: Note that VS Code and GoLand have provided “inlay hints” that can avoid naked parameters

Both VS Code (with Go extension) and GoLand have provided “inlay hints” that can show every parameters name:

I wonder if we can add a section mentioning this feature to give the newer codebase another choice – no need to write such a hint explicitly? This feature makes us no longer need to write C-style comments anymore, since maintaining a separate comment can be easily out-of-sync with the original parameter name, and writing such a comment is a bit uninteresting for this IDE era, I think.

I don't believe these hints work in sourcegraph or other source code viewers ?

One place where the parameter information is useful is code reviews, and unfortunately this sort of overlay isn't available in the major review tools.

These hints also won't work on other editors like vim/neovim/etc. Last time I checked Go developer survey, there's still a nontrivial number of these users (over 20%, IIRC).
