Suggestion

If you call an function with many many arguments (and maybe with same type).
It's easy to lost your mind: Where I am? What i am doing? Which parameter I'm passing?
It's helpful if show the parameter info when hover into one arguments.

Examples

declare function foo(
    p1: string,
    p2: string,
    p3: string,
    p4: string,
    p5: string
): void;

declare const a: string[]

foo(
    a[0],
    a[1], // ???
    a[2],
    a[3],
    a[4]
)

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
