Description Mickael Istria CLA 2018-03-23 03:34:42 EDT 
The "var" keyword is really pleasant to use. However, as a user, I get the habit of always hovering to guess what the inferred type is. I think having a way to always show the inferred type as a decoration on the code would be great.
It seems like a good use case for code minings.
