   Sorry for belated reply. A few comments:
   -I suspect for a long time that we will need a way to customize which inline hints are shown and which are not. Whether the number of hints right now requires that is a question.
   -using an explicit type for a `var` instead of an inline hint works only in code where one can write the explicit type. It does not work for reading existing code written by someone else, for example.
   -replacing `var` with an explicit type - even if we found a way to replace the views, it would still change the formatting, correct? For example, if we replace `var` with `Map<? extends String, ? extends String>`, the length of the text will be different?
