   -0 on this for me. I agree with @mbien here -
   
   > not a fan of IDEs which display information inline which is not in the code, since it influences how code is written/formatted and makes it somewhat IDE dependent. Also worth noting that simply declaring the type takes less space than using var + inline hints in most cases (e.g in the example given above).
   > Removing information just to add it right back a few chars to the right via an IDE assisted feature is a bit weird to me :)
   
   In general inline hints serve a purpose, but I've definitely noticed their influence on writing / formatting - I think how we display the data might need some rethinking.
   
   Showing parameter names and other information that cannot (easily) be in the source makes more sense than showing the type information for `var` which could be declared by choice.
